Description

The feature would be great to improve UI/UX. Particular with many shiny applications taking longer than 0.5 seconds to load. plotly.js does this, but the R implementation does not.

Reproducible example
This issue is reproducible across any R implementation of plotly. It's documented on Stackoverflow and the r plotly community:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36129522/show-loading-graph-message-in-plotly
https://community.plot.ly/t/how-to-show-loading-graphs-message-in-plotly/684

@cpsievert - BTW, thank you so for your work on R plotly, your impact is huge.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the behavior in an R plotly application, compare it with plotly.js and the linked Stack Overflow and community discussions, and determine how loading should be represented for graphs taking more than 0.5 seconds; done means the loading message appears while the graph loads.
