objectives

First and foremost, what do we want to accomplish?

Just to get this out there, there seem to be four kinds of functionality we're trying to get here:

import data into R from org
easy editing of R code using r-mode from an org buffer
evaluate R code and make the output available for processing in an org buffer
evaluate R code and format the output for export

block types

Special editing and evaluation of source code in R blocks. Unfortunately org-mode how two different block types. Source code blocks which look like the following allow for the special editing of code inside of the block through `org-edit-special'.

dblocks, which look like the following allow for evaluation of the code inside of the block by calling \C-c\C-c on the header of the block. This is handy, as org-mode will automatically call `org-dblock-write:dblock-type' where dblock-type is the string following the #+BEGIN: portion of the line.

Note that upper and lower case are not relevant in block headings.

I'm leaning towards using the #+begin_src blocks, as that is really what these blocks contain is source code.
