Feature Request: show/display methods for R plots like ggplot2 #514

It would be great if RCall would support rich outputs for plots, so that inside Pluto.jl RCall plotting works. (PythonCall has such support, but I guess Python's matplotlib is quite different from R's ggplot2).

Looking into IRKernel, the jupyter support, it seems a combination of the R package repr and R Base evaluate is needed.

Here is the entry point for IRKernel https://github.com/IRkernel/IRkernel/blob/master/R/execution.r#L313-L321

Looks this PR does something related: https://github.com/JuliaInterop/RCall.jl/pull/409

The PR gives a macro, which actually relies on being a macro in that it can change the code.

I would rather appreciate if the show and display functions could directly be overloaded to support rich html output
