This is not my call, but I think that it would be brilliant if they
could be integrated into ESS directly. The only aspect which definitely
eeds to be fixed with r-autoyas is that it does *not* play nicely with
or-gmode / babel where it breaks the C-c ' editing of source code blocks.

If this can not be done, I would opt to leave it out of ESS - as much as
I would regret this.

But ess-tracebug works absolutely brilliant and from my experience (user
of org mode / babel) there is no reason why it should not be included in
ESS.

Cheers,

Rainer
