Description
Per https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/14596, the visual editor has some inconsistencies with its usage of "cell" versus "chunk".
The ideal would be that "chunk" is used in all places when editing an R Markdown file, and "cell" when editing a Quarto file.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked RStudio issue and searching the visual editor for user-facing uses of “cell” and “chunk.” Check the terminology in both R Markdown and Quarto editing contexts. Done means R Markdown consistently uses “chunk” and Quarto consistently uses “cell” wherever the visual editor refers to them.
