The syntax is now stabilized (we wanted to get this sorted before the
final Emacs24 merge).  That which is currently described in the manual
is and should remain the proper Org-mode code block syntax.

For many small examples, please see [1] which I (unfortunately) haven't
been adding to recently, but I will try to once again start using for
all of my small generally-mailing-list-inspired Babel one-offs.

From looking at the fairly terse web site for R^2 it is not clear to me
exactly what the system includes (I'm sure I'm missing something
obvious).  It seems to be the addition of a packaging system over-top of
R source files.  What would a potential Org-mode based system provide
which is not already possible with Org-mode text files, Org-mode
publishing and a version control repository.

Perhaps the benefit would simply be a system which eases the integration
of Org, publishing, version control, and possibly automatic Makefile
creation with tasks like "publish", "clean" etc...

Best,
