Installing R-devel via homebrew?

Is it possible to install the current R-devel version via homebrew?

I have already tried brew install --devel r, which does not work.

The reason is indicated in the error message Error: No devel block is defined for r. If you run brew edit r you'll note there is no devel code block indicating the necessary url for the requested development version. Alternatively, you can append the --HEAD flag which will install the most recent r version with the latest commits available in the source repo. The difference between --devel and --HEAD flags is discussed in the Homebrew formula cookbook. Similar info is also discussed here.
