The quantlib library which RQuantlib wraps includes log-linear 
interpolation for term structure.  I think that the "termstrc" package 
will remain an important part of the toolkit for anyone working in with 
fixed income instruments.  I've also used the "CreditMetrics" package as 
part of developing default scenarios for corporate credit.
