For graphics, I'm guessing you'd mention something about ggplot's
grammar of graphics.

Also, although I don't use it all that much, I think the "formula"
methods (y ~ a + b)-type of stuff is probably handy for certain
audiences, as it somehow translates to a "natural language" when doing
modeling.
