I don't think so -- as I understand it, what David is looking for is
a method for taking a specification for the general term in a series
(of indefinite length) and accumulating the sum of terms until a
convergence criterion is satisfied -- see his Mathematica-inspired
hypothetical example (in his
Not 100% if this is what you are looking for, but maybe Reduce("+", x)
will do it? E.g.
Reduce("+", 1/2^(1:10))
# [1] 0.9990234
Hope this helps.

Here are my translations to "integrate"-like syntax of a conflation of

Please give an example of a definition (as you would specify it
to an R function) of a "convergent series" that you want to compute!
