Description
First of all, thanks for making VSCode and R such a great partnership! R was the last thing I switched over to VSCode & it's great to be able to do everything in a single editor.
VSCode has a really nice feature where you can have a plain .py script file and mark jupyter notebook cells by # %%: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support-py. Then an interactive notebook opens up that displays output.
I'm not sure if this is an exposed API from VSCode, but if so, it would be fantastic to have the same capability for R.

Start with the VS Code Python/Jupyter support documentation linked in the issue and the # %% cell convention described there. Determine whether VS Code exposes an API for equivalent behavior in R, then define the expected interactive notebook display and output behavior for a plain R script.
