    R: update to 4.0.2

    CHANGES IN R 4.0.0:

      SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES:

        * Packages need to be (re-)installed under this version (4.0.0) of
          R.

        * matrix objects now also inherit from class "array", so e.g.,
          class(diag(1)) is c("matrix", "array").  This invalidates code
          incorrectly assuming that class(matrix_obj)) has length one.

          S3 methods for class "array" are now dispatched for matrix
          objects.

        * There is a new syntax for specifying _raw_ character constants
          similar to the one used in C++: r"(...)" with ... any character
          sequence not containing the sequence )".  This makes it easier to
          write strings that contain backslashes or both single and double
          quotes.  For more details see ?Quotes.

        * R now uses a stringsAsFactors = FALSE default, and hence by
          default no longer converts strings to factors in calls to
          data.frame() and read.table().

          A large number of packages relied on the previous behaviour and
          so have needed/will need updating.

        * The plot() S3 generic function is now in package base rather than
          package graphics, as it is reasonable to have methods that do not
          use the graphics package.  The generic is currently re-exported
          from the graphics namespace to allow packages importing it from
          there to continue working, but this may change in future.

          Packages which define S4 generics for plot() should be
          re-installed and package code using such generics from other
          packages needs to ensure that they are imported rather than rely
          on their being looked for on the search path (as in a namespace,
          the base namespace has precedence over the search path).

    See ${PREFIX}/lib/R/doc/NEWS for full changes.
