Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading the issue and its nine-comment discussion to clarify the desired folder behavior and whether a solution was agreed. Done should mean that the requested non-R-dominant folder layout is supported, with its expected behavior defined and verified.

Description

We R users like to think that our RStudio Project file is in the top folder, and everything else is neatly organized in subfolders. In many research organizations and teams, not everyone uses R (nor is everything in a project about quantitative analysis). Hence, my Rproj files are often pushed into a subfolder called "R-analysis" or something. data folders might be located further up the directory structure. I therefore do not see how here can be of use for me and my colleagues (although I want to). Am I missing obvious solutions, or is this feature that should be added?
