Thank you very much, very good to see!

Do you have any examples to demonstrate the new features that you
mention in the Overview?  To my untrained eye, I couldn't discriminate
much difference to what Kieran's page documents.  

is it that your package hides some of the details that Kieran had
included in the Makefile?

And presumably, although this is part of rstudio, is most of the
functionality available also via ESS?

Best wishes,
