[ESS] knitr

[Yihui Xie]

When we were working on the auto-completion feature in RStudio, I
wrote an internal object in knitr for RStudio to use. See

str(knitr:::opts_chunk_attr)

This contains all default chunk options; hopefully ESS can use that as well.

For the second point, yes, that is also RStudio does.

Regards,
Yihui
