is R syntax closed?
comment, some marker for 'command doesn't end at this line' etc.
That is not necessary since R supports multi-line commands without the need for marking continuation.
R syntax done and any extensions are forbidden?
R is maintained and extended by the R code team[1] who decide on the GNU R project. Suggestions (or sometimes patches) are posted on this list and may or may not be implemented (but please check that your suggestion/question is indeed new by searching the list archive). R is maintained on an svn repository and doesn't support pull requests in the same way git does. Since R is free in the GNU sense you can always define your own local version, see e.g. [2].

hi, i'm new to R and i discovered that for years people are complaining about lacking of very basic and hopefully simple things, like multiline comment, some marker for 'command doesn't end at this line' etc. so my question is why some of those things are still not implemented? is it because of compatibility/policy reasons? is R syntax done and any extensions are forbidden? or it's simply because everyone is doing something more interesting? if it's the second case then do such pull requests/patches have a chance of being accepted? -- regards, piotrek
