Description

I love this project and would like to help, if I can.
The stuff in init.R already seems pretty long.

Would it make sense to factor this out to a separate R package?

Research direction

Start by reading init.R and identifying the R API code it contains. Determine the scope and boundaries of a separate R package; done would mean the relevant API code is factored out without leaving the extension dependent on the original init.R implementation.
