Description
Consider the following code cells in a quarto-document:
## Welcome {.unnumbered}
```{r}
my_list = list(1, 2, 3)
typeof(my_list)
```
```{python}
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
type(my_list)
```
Would it be possible to add a flag to quarto that specifies only R code chunks be written/evaluated? e.g.
## Welcome {.unnumbered}
```{r}
my_list = list(1, 2, 3)
typeof(my_list)
```

Research direction
Start by reproducing the mixed R and Python code-cell example in a Quarto document, then inspect the CLI options and execution behavior involved in rendering or evaluating it. Done means a flag can select only the requested language's chunks and produces the R-only result shown in the issue.
