At the bottom of the [R for macOS Developer's Page](http://mac.r-project.org/) there's mention of an "other binary" called "RSwitch" that is _"a small GUI that allows you to switch between R versions quickly (if you have multiple versions of R framework installed)."_ Said switching requires you to use the "tar.gz" versions of R from the R for macOS Developer's Page since the official CRAN binary installers clean up after themselves quite nicely to prevent potentially wacky behavior.

All this GUI does is change the `Current` alias target in `/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions` to the appropriate version. You can do that from the command line but the switcher GUI was created so that means some folks prefer click-switching.

## TODO
- Clean up the icon (which is "dial" by IconMark from the Noun Project). This means having it look better in the menu bar in dark/light mode _including_ the highlight mode for it. Possibly means getting a visible "R" on it somewhere.
- Better/prettier alerting (which also means more sanity checks)
- Allow hiding of the app icon? (not sure this is a good idea, tho…pls discuss in an issue!)
- (add your own TODO suggestions via PR)

- <strike>Add Cmd-1, -2, -3, (etc) key equivalents in the menu bar for fast selection (one reason why ^^ might not be a good idea)</strike>
- <strike>Add an "about" box (mostly to ensure IconMark gets more credit than a comment and README)</strike>
