I guess one man's simplicity is another confusing magic. I don't see
the difficulty in having to change the value of an elisp variable, to
change the R code executed by an Emacs process, in fact I think this is
the most straight forward and expected way to do such customization.

The above sounds good to me. It might be nice to also include a
customizable variable which controls whether the function in (2) is run
at all.
Best,
