I think that would be a good idea, or create a separate branch for
testing these features.

Instead of capture.output, one could possibly use sink() as it can also
capture error messages and warnings, as shown in the help:

#+begin_src R 
## capture all the output to a file.
zz <- file("all.Rout", open = "wt")
sink(zz)
sink(zz, type = "message")
try(log("a"))
## back to the console
sink(type = "message")
sink()
file.show("all.Rout")
#+end_src

This combined with a try() bloxk could work?

Rainer
