No:
edd using rob:~$ r --version | head -1
r ('littler') version 0.3.9
edd using rob:~$ R --version | head -1
R version 3.6.3 (2020-02-29) -- "Holding the Windsock"
edd using rob:~$
Also, remember that R CMD calls for 25 years into i.e. INSTALL to avoid
/usr/bin/install from GNU? Same reason.
The only "famous" and very braindead exception is macOS where I recommend
littler users build it as 'lr' because there (and only there) r == R.
