Description
In conjunction with improving docs in #384 , I think it would be interesting to add a lightweight RStudio Add-in that makes it easy to save and load packrat.lock files that you use regularly, thereby making it easier to use the global cache for new projects by reusing old packrat.lock files. It would be really cool if it was somehow possible to inject this modal dialog into the packrat::init() or project creation process.

Research direction
Start by reading the related documentation work in issue #384 and the packrat::init() project-creation process mentioned here. The issue names no files or tests, so first define the RStudio Add-in workflow for saving and loading packrat.lock files and how it should integrate with initialization; done requires agreed acceptance criteria for that design.
