Is there an expression in `R` for "output of the last command"?

Question

In Mathematica, the output of the last expression can be accessed using the symbol %. In particular, one can do the following in Mathematica:

1+2
% / 3

This will return the output 1, because the output of the first expression is 3, and 3/3 = 1.

Is there an equivalent functionality in R?

Ideally, it would be tied to the current environment, so it should work in a sourced script but not leak outside a function. If that's not possible, interactively at the console is certainly better than not having it at all. — merlin2011, Nov 17 '13 at 02:38
