I don't think any authority agrees with Ted here. There are two characters, left and right. Collectively it seems agreed they are called guillemets, but the issue is over the names of the single characters, and the character shown is the left guillem[eo]t.
Adobe says these are left and right guillemot. It seems that the majority opinion does not agree, but there is a substantial usage following Adobe.
I had already changed the R source code, so please Ted and others follow the advice in the posting guide and
