No, an Emacs wizard.

My thoughts were based on the recent thread re: local functions in a
package, and making that easier (as well as documented).

R will do a good bit, and the question is how much more would be
needed in support so that 
        M-x R-package-wizard
creates a filled out package framework (without the autocoding, of
course).
