R (cf. https://www.r-project.org/about.html: "R is a language and
environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU
project...").  An R installation comes with several Info manuals.
However, I guess many or perhaps most Emacs users who use R use it with
ESS (available from GNU ELPA), which implements comprehensive help
itegration for R, so for such users info-look integration may be
superfluous.  But it would be helpful for those R+Emacs users who don't
use ESS.  (I could try to make a patch to add support for R to
info-look, but I'm not familiar with info-look, so it could take me some
time.)
