This ir tool to make self-describing #RStats scripts is interesting, but I am kind of confused by the decision to come up with a whole new lockfile format instead of re-using renv's. I also don't see any tooling on how to create the metadata block automatically, akin to renv's automatic dependency discovery. Am I supposed to write each package name twice and somehow know exactly which version I'm using?
