That's not an easy issue. We have discussed this before. In order to
merge 122 the core ESS must be modified to work in a standard emacs
way. That is,
1) Split ess-mode into standalone modes (R-mode, stata-mode,
julia-mode etc) and make them inherit from ess-mode.
2) Make interaction functionality a minor mode such that it can be
plugged into any of the modes from (2).
There are other ways to merge 122 but it would be called "patching" and
I am not willing to do patching (yet again) because (1) and (2) must be
done anyways.
Now that we have passed 15.03 we can start re-factoring and aim to
complete it by 15.09. If you start looking into it, it would be good to
create a separate branch specifically for this issue.
