I opened up a example.R buffer, evaluated some code, and a session named
"*R*" was created and the value of `ess-local-process-name' was set to
"R", so I've just pushed up a patch which will set the value of
`ess-local-process-name' to "something" if the value of the :session
header is "*something*", it will also start the session if none exists.
Please let me know if this give the desired result. If not, then could
you point me to an ESS feature which uses the associated session which I
could use locally to test?
Note also, that this patch adds a general facility through which any
language can prep an org edit src buffer through the definition of a
org-babel-edit-prep:lang function, which will be passed the full info
list for the code block. If there are any other languages which would
benefit from edit-buffer initialization it should now be a simple task
to implement such initialization.
Thanks -- Eric
