I find it ridiculously handy in practice. (It also made my advisor's
eyes bug-out amusingly the first time I casually flipped into R mode
during a meeting.)

Yeah, that's part of a solution, but see my other email.

My main wishlist from rpy2 right now is:
 -- that call interface, to fix both the visibility and verboseness problems
 -- some way for ProcessEvents to get called while blocked in the
consoleRead callback (this is tricky!)
 -- R->Python calls, so I can provide a magic 'py' object in R mode,
that lets one access the Python workspace :-).
