# eix -e R
* dev-lang/R
     Available versions:  2.7.1 2.7.2 (~)2.8.1 {X bash-completion cairo debug

However, eix is normally case-insensitive. When used with -e (exact match) it 
is case sensitive. Trawling through the enormous eix man page looking or the 
case insensitive exact match is left as an exercise for the reader.
