I think this is a bad idea, such external R source files may be hard to
manage and load reliably across systems and it is not clear where they
should live in the Org-mode repository. Additionally, if the variables
simply hold R code text, then users can easily initialize them from R
files locally with something like the following.
(setq org-babel-R-assign-elisp-function
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file-contents-literally "personal.R")
(buffer-string)))
I think this approach is much simpler.
Best,
Eric
