Hi,
There appear to be no way to check whether R has already been initialized.

Surely any program that needs to know that could keep its own flag.
You'll need to give a much
Beside the possible argumentation that with an API elegance and convenience
might sometimes be superior to necessity, the suggested pattern ("every
program, including R itself, keeping its own flag") does no work too well
when the nested embedding of R is involved.
A concrete example is:
```

rPython appears to provide an interface from R to Python by embedding
Python and I'd think that it can safely assume that R has been initialized,
but might not be the point here.
The issue is that a Python package embedding itself R (here rpy2) appears
to have no way to know that earlier in the li
