Some is exposed via R_ext/Connections.h (with a note that code should test for R_CONNECTIONS_VERSION).
(Seems that this is currently not used in any CRAN package ...)
One way is to call back an R function to get some more characters to feed in to the lexer, but this would not be very efficient. Romain
