[R] R-plots with 'complex' axis-labelling

  It looks like you've got a reasonable workaround.
  From a quick glance it actually looks to me (if the dot-accent is all
that stands between you and one-step graphical output) that the "right"
thing to do is to add a dot() expression, analogous to tilde() and hat(),
to the set of available plotmath commands (plotmath's spacing isn't
flexible enough to hack a dot accent -- atop() leaves too much space).
If no-one better qualified steps forward, I could try to hack it.
