Ask to the R users mailing list.
Be careful on how you write your message there, because it is a
mailing list with a lot of users.
If you find someting interesting in R, please don't forget us :),
don't forget that python is cool :).

it doesn't implement anything like that.
I am sorry I am not aware of any module capable of doing this.
