Comment(by vbraun):

 Replying to [comment:9 kcrisman]:
 >  * Won't [...] cause problems if someone wants to use the `file` command
 again, or is that local in scope?

 Functions can't be lvalues in R, so its fine though maybe not beautiful:
 {{{
 > file=123
 > file
 [1] 123
 > file('test.txt')
 description       class        mode        text      opened    can read
  "test.txt"      "file"         "r"      "text"    "closed"       "yes"
   can write
       "yes"
 > file
 [1] 123
 }}}

 >  * Also, might as well add to reference manual if it's now all formatted
 correctly?  Should just be one line adding it to the toc or something...

 I only patched up the sphinx breakage where I fixed things. There are
 still 2kloc to go, but I didn't want to break each and every patch for
 `sage/interfaces/r.py` on trac...

 >  * Is it possible to provide a VM doing what you showed works I could
 download into my !VirtualBox, or is that too much work?

 You just have to recompile the new R in my virtual machine and it'll
 basically work. You need to install fonts, though, otherwise all text in
 the plots will be emtpy squares.
