Hello,

when tentatively calling "guix refresh", I saw a number of packages
called "r-r-...", for instance "r-r-oo". Should this not be simplified
to "r-oo"? We do not have separate packaging rules for R, but in analogy
with python and perl, it would make sense to preprend "r-" and at the
same time drop all other occurrences of R inside the original name.

What do you think?

Andreas
