and options to R (in addition to --no-echo --no-restore), for example:

  --no-environ        Don't read the site and user environment files
  --no-site-file      Don't read the site-wide Rprofile
  --no-init-file      Don't read the user R profile

                        --no-init-file and --no-environ

Expressions (one or more '-e <expr>') may be used *instead* of 'file'.
Any additional 'args' can be accessed from R via 'commandArgs(TRUE)'.

Note that the standard version of this image requires a shell because R is typically invoked through built-in shell wrappers.
