data.dump/data.restore is hopefully going to be S-plus compatible as much
as possible (that's why most of us would want it).
Hence, I think the `R' is really too much there.
I don't think so. The data.dump format is really just an efficient encoding of the output of dput/dump. It won't be more compatible than the data structures themselves. That is, unless someone wants to sit down and catalog all the differences in internal data structures and do the relevant transformation code....
