RQuote -- create an unevaluated R symbol

Usage:

RQuote str
Inputs:
- str, a string or a thing,
Outputs:
- a R object, an R symbol (type symbol);

Description

Create an unevaluated R symbol. This is analogous to R's quote function, and is useful when a symbol itself (rather than its value) needs to be passed to an R function.

Compare the behavior of RSymbol, which evaluates the symbol and returns its value:

i1 : RSymbol "pi"

o1 = [1] 3.141593

o1 : RObject of type double

i2 : RQuote "pi"

o2 = pi

o2 : RObject of type symbol

A Macaulay2 Symbol may also be used.

i3 : RQuote pi

o3 = pi

o3 : RObject of type symbol
