[R] configure encoding by default

[Угодай n/a]

I want using russian letters for my diagrams. I do it in this manner

m <- "заголовок"
Encode(m) <- "UTF-8"
plot(1,1,main=m)

But it is not convenient . How to configure R for using UTF-8 for all
string, to work without Encode-function, as

plot(1,1,main="заголовок")

You need to set your locale, either at the system level (and R will use
it) or with Sys.setlocale() within a session. The details of how to
specify that you want UTF-8 characters vary by system; I'm not sure it's
possible in Windows, for instance. See the R Installation and
Administration manual chapter on internationalization.
