I can understand that the RStudio programmers want to protect
their users (*) from getting funny looking output,
but I still don't like the fact that R inside RStudio is tweaked
to behave differently from regular R.
No, it just suggests exactly what Prof. Ripley alluded to...
... the output of cat() will be dependent on the display terminal.
RStudio doesn't include R at all, and in fact makes use of the/any R
binary installed via other processes. It is not 'tweaked'.
It *does* include a 'terminal' to display the interactions with the R
console.
