If I pass a record along the lines of {a = 1, b = {2, 3}} into an RExpression,
it will choke since it can't form a data.frame out of this.  A fallback would
be to create list(a = 1, b = c(2, 3)).  From what I understand about Records,
the whole Record = data.frame thing isn't entirely appropriate in the first
place.
