Hi

Is there a way of resetting R to the --vanilla state *without closing
and restarting* R, i.e. all packages un-loaded (except the ones loaded
automatically in --vanilla), all options reset, dev() closed,
environments detached and deleted, ...?

Not with the standard front-ends.  I would guess you could write your
own front end that did that, but it would probably be easier to just
run R in a separate process, and close and restart it.  I think that's
what RStudio does.

That's what I guessed. I wanted to do this in emacs / ess but then I
have to think about a restart solution in ESS, which should be possible.

Thanks,
