It is not an oversight. R_tryEval is as far as the R sources are
concerned just part of the test examples for embedding.
I think you may be referring to
http://developer.r-project.org/embedded.html
That does not list R_tryEval in 'Routines for the Embedded R', so makes no
such implication (and in any case dates from 2000, before there was a
documented interface).
