How disruptive would it be if R were changed so the startup line
[Previously saved workspace restored]
were changed to show the complete name, from normalizePath(), of the
saved workspace file? E.g.,
[Previously saved workspace restored from 'C:\Program Files\R\.RData']
(It is bad enough that the file name starts with a dot so it is hidden from
'ls',
but on Windows lots of people don't know what directory R is starting in.
On
my Windows PC R-3.1.2 starts in C:/Program Files/R, the parent of its RHOME
directory.)
