Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes. It is not straightforward for many R users to install and use radian as the R terminal in VSCode because they don't have Python installed. The default R terminal can be much more useful if warnings and error messages are colored.
Describe the solution you'd like
The R package cli offers such feature.
