Hi Aaron, and welcome!
Your proposal would be a lot more interesting to me if I knew what this
binary ~ would actually do, without having to go learn R or LaTeX.
You say:

I'm confused. Why can't you just write
'Lottery ~ Literacy + Wealth + Region'
as a literal string? That's an exact copy and paste from your example,
and it works for me.
