[Nix-dev] Using R with Bioconductor

Do any of you guys/gals use R and Bioconductor?

The only page I can find related to setting it up is <https://nixos.org/wiki/R>.
Bioconductor is a whole additional ecosystem on top of R/CRAN,
with its own installer. You normally use it like:

    source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
    biocLite("PackageName")

They explain why at <http://bioconductor.org/install/#why-biocLite>.
How hard would it be to package that using Nix?
Thanks
Jeff
