I just did a search for the string "insert and R", and it was indeed
useless.  However, "R and insert" came up with 4 relevant hits in the
first 10 and the usual warning about using "and"; when I leave it out
and type "R insert" I got up to 6 relevant hits out of 10.

So I think the name R is not so bad, but Google is a little more
subtle in its searches than I would have guessed.
