Is there a way to do this? I tried
x <- writeBin(pi, raw())
dump("x","x.R")

but is seems x.R is not source()-able, as it contains an unexpected
symbol.
Yes, "2d".I get:
> source("/Users/davidwinsemius/x.R")
Error in source("/Users/davidwinsemius/x.R") :
/Users/davidwinsemius/x.R:2:8: unexpected symbol
1: x <-
2: c(18, 2d

So there was an good faith effort to source the file but the
interpreter was not put on notice that it would be getting
hexadecimal. The file contains:
x <-
c(18, 2d, 44, 54, fb, 21, 09, 40)
and when you try to execute that from the command line you get:
> x <-
+ c(18, 2d, 44, 54, fb, 21, 09, 40)
Error: syntax error
(R variable names cannot start with 2 and R wouldn't assume these are
hexadecimal numbers.)
