OK, we won't make any precipitate changes, and it may make sense to
treat different "foreign" languages differently. (We already handle
python specially on account of its idiosyncratic treatment of white
space as syntactically significant.)
But could you elaborate on how string substitution is convenient in
relation to R? (Maybe we could recommend an alternative approach, or
maybe not.)
