Answer 1

I think the best answer I saw was the code below, which I copied from an SO answer which I can't track down right now. Apologies to the original author.

resave <- function(..., list = character(), file) {
   previous  <- load(file)
   var.names <- c(list, as.character(substitute(list(...)))[-1L])
   for (var in var.names) assign(var, get(var, envir = parent.frame()))
   save(list = unique(c(previous, var.names)), file = file)
}
#I took advantage of the fact the load function 
#returns the name of the loaded variables, so 
#I could use the function's environment instead of creating one.
#And when using get, I was careful to only look in the 
#environment from which the function is called, i.e. parent.frame()
