[O] creating a list from an R source block

[Greg Tucker-Kellogg]

Creating a list in Org from a Ruby Array is trivial

#+BEGIN_SRC ruby :exports results :results value list
[x , y, z ] 
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
- x
- y
- z

But trying the same thing from R gives a surprising (to me) result

#+BEGIN_SRC R :exports results :results value list
c(x,y,z)
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS: 
- (x)
- (y)
- (z)

removing the list header creates a table, but there seems to be no 
straightforward way in R to create a list of elements that is treated by Org as 
a list.  Am I missing something?

Clunky, perhaps, but this works:

#+BEGIN_SRC R :exports results :results output org
a - c(x,y,z)
cat(paste(-, a), sep=\n)

#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
#+BEGIN_ORG
- x
- y
- z
#+END_ORG

Best regards,

Thanks, that works.  But does this count as a bug in ob-R?
