I also would like very much a partial evaluation. I'm not using knitr yet 
(lack of time, unfortunately), but this should be the same for Sweave if 
it's going to be backend independent. I often find myself willing to Sweave 
(and then compile) the document to a given point (usually when revising a 
Sweave document), and skip the rest of the content of the document (that 
is, at the exception of ending macros such as biblio, some R statements, 
and \end{document}). Ideally, what would be great to me would be a string 
of character to start and stop excluding any content (including LaTeX and 
R, i.e. more general that 'eval=FALSE, echo=FALSE' in every chunk) to 
Sweave/knittr.
