I think that bquote, with its .() operator, suffices for 
[almost?] any single title;
...
E.g.,
  hist(new, main=bquote("Heart Attack (" * bar(X)==.(mean(new)) * ")")) 

In this instance, using 
hist(new, main=bquote( "Heart Attack  " * (bar(X) ==.( mean(new) )) ) )

improves the parentheses slightly, as it uses plotmath parentheses instead of forcing text parentheses. 

Otherwise I agree completely; bquote is a neat way of doing the job.
