again, this is the main use case for outshine & outorg. 

They work with old-school and outshine (= outcommented org-mode)
headlines, so you just have to structure ob-R.el with some headlines,
either like this:

,--------------
| ;;; Level 1
| ;;;; Level 2
`--------------

or like this

,---------------
| ;; * Level 1
| ;; ** Level 2
`---------------

(just like you structure an Org file) and then you can switch between
emacs-lisp-mode and org-mode with

,-----------------------------
| M-# M-# (outorg-edit-as-org)
`-----------------------------

and 

,---------------------------------
| M-# (outorg-copy-edits-and-exit)
`---------------------------------

Org-mode and emacs-lisp-mode thus become two different views on the same
(well-structured) file, and you can easily switch between them.
