Seems like that's what `STRING_ELT(vec, 0)` should accomplish. It does seem like a strange way to do it but it also seems like what we're doing here is already breaking the rules CRAN wants us to play by. If it works, I'm +1. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
