[R] Mathematical niceties

I'd like to make axis titles, chart titles, legends and the like
mathematically nice (e.g., have proper superscripts and subscripts,
variables in italics, and so on).  Ideally, one could go into ``math mode"
a la LaTeX, and write something like

plot(blah, xlab="Methane in $\mbox{cm}^3$ / g", blah).

This is just an ideal, but it would be nice.  Is some approximation of this
functionality available in R (or indeed, in S Plus)?

Thanks a lot,
Steve
