Description: A scripting and command-line front-end is provided by 'r'
        (aka 'littler') as a lightweight binary wrapper around the GNU
        R language and environment for statistical computing and
        graphics. While R can be used in batch mode, the r binary adds
        full support for both 'shebang'-style scripting (i.e. using a
        hash-mark-exclamation-path expression as the first line in
        scripts) as well as command-line use in standard Unix
        pipelines. In other words, r provides the R language without
        the environment.
