I tried your R.plist in TextWrangler 3 and it failed to recognise
functions.
I changed the function pattern to this
<key>Function Pattern</key>
<string>(?P<function_name>[a-z0-9_A-Z.]+)\s*<-\s*function</
string>
and then TextWrangler does recognise R functions with function names
appearing in the symbols popup menu.
The string for <key>Identifier and Keyword Characters</key> should
also contain a 0 (zero digit).
