I am not installing fortune solely for this purpose but I understand
that anything which smells like macro expansion is frowned upon in R

Yet there are situations where i want to treat code as data and
data as code. As far as I gather this works only with closures in R,
not with general S-expressions, so sometimes I have to resort to
character strings.
