[R] selectively load some objects from old workspace

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Either 1. in your old workspace create a separate file using save that
contains only the variables you want to transfer (see ?save) and then
load that or
2. load the whole thing into an environment

e <- new.env()
load("myspace.rda", e)

and then copy out all the variables you want and delete e (thereby
deleting its contents).

x <- e$x
rm(e)
