The improvements about R are quite interesting. Do you plan to allow these
at the command line as well? I mean, I think we need a command block 

R_script
... (R commands)
end R

such that when gretl processes the R_script, the dataset is transfered in the 
same way as we do it through the GUI (tools/start GNU R or through the new R 
script capabilities), and the commands inside the block are passed to R.
