Hi Jeffrey,

This really looks nice, I would love to see this in 15.06.

I see 3 TODO items here [1] I we want to remove them. Is there anythigs left on
you todo list?

And maybe R language should get a short section in the manual [2] since there
is no mention of language support of R. Instructions how to update the manual
are here [3].
