Research direction

Start by reading issues #8474 and #9030, especially the existing dplyr “convert to code” work, then trace how the Data Explorer presents syntax options. The issue is done when base appears as an available option and the Data Explorer reflects the requested base R syntax behavior shown in the screenshot.
