Now, if you take the second version

dataset to
send in response to the --send-data option), then executing the
script produces:
<output>

write_data_for_R: failed with err = 15
</output>
This is admittedly too cryptic, but it's a "correct" error message
in that the function write_data_for_R() has failed, for the reason
that there's nothing to write.
That error message is now improved in git: using the --send-data
option to "foreign" when there's no dataset provokes the message
"No dataset is in place".
