[R-SIG-Mac] suggestion about HOME/Library/R

I noticed today that the R binaries from CRAN have a new directory  
for each new release, such that we have
   /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.2
with
   /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources
being a symlink to
   /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Version/Current

For obvious reasons (saving one's old installation) this is a good idea.

But what about adopting a similar setup for
   $HOME/Library/R/library
so we get
   $HOME/Library/R/Versions/2.2
etc.

In that way, a given user's setup is again saved across R versions.
