** CANCELLED Help focus does not honor focus-follows-mouse/mouse-autoselect-window :CANCELLED:

If you have focus-follows-mouse and mouse-autoselect-window set to t,
then ask for help in an *R* buffer, i.e.
> ?setwd

The help buffer steals focus permanently instead of surrendering it
to mouse movement; you need to physically click in the *R*
buffer to restore the focus following the mouse.  C-c C-d C-d
behaves similarly.  Ideally, we should respect the user's settings 
of focus-follows-mouse/mouse-autoselect-window in this common 
help/*R* buffer arrangement.

** TODO eldoc should ignore some functions
Some functions have no useful argument information to report and they
should simply be ignored.  Ideally, this feature would be customizable
so that each user could add their unfavorite functions.  To start, I
would put suggest: (), c(), list(), sqrt(), t()
** TODO ess-doc-map, ess-extra-map, and ess-dev-map  are present "everywhere"
  notably in ess-help, inferior-ess, and ess-mode. It would be *really*
  user friendly if we have a "submenu" for each of these maps, and them 
  in both ESS and iESS (or all 4: ESS, iESS, ESS-help, ESS-transcript, ..).

** TODO Implement "Extract Function" functionality

   ,----
   | RStudio can analyze a selection of code from within the source editor

   | variables within the selection (objects that are referenced but not
   | created within the selection) are converted into function arguments

   While you are in this part of the code, can you add C-u C-u C-y to the ESS
   menu item, although maybe it belongs on the Edit menu.  Not clear to me
   which would be better.

* RStudio (excerpts from Hadley's R-packages book)
** TODO Build & reload
   Available in RStudio via Cmd + Shift + B. This in- stalls the package,
   restarts R, and then reloads the package with library() (doing this by hand
   is painful).
** TODO Jump to github file view. If lines are selected jump to those lines.
   This is probably there in projectile.
