This looks awesome. I will check it out later.

Originally, I was looking for something similar to ess-evaluate-region, but
rather than sending the region, it sends str("selected region/object") or
names("selected region/object") to R. As you mentioned in your blog, I need
to constantly inspect structures of different objects, thus I would like to
write some lisp functions and keybinding to speed up my frequent function
calls. Hope it makes me clearer.
