[R] possible to increase precision

I would like to increase the precision/accuracy of R. That is, I'm dealing with numbers exceedingly close to 1, and I would like to increase the number of significant digits used in computation. In matlab, you can use vpa() to accomplish this. I'm wondering if there's an equivalent or a w
