Currently work in progress to deal with converting string Arrays into R altrep vectors. This needs more work, and other altrep vectors perhaps need to change as well. The string implementation is mostly inspired from the `R_deferred_string_class` in base R. This uses static methods because things like `Dataptr()` or even `Elt()` might jump and so we need to correctly unwind. This right now creates a dissymmetry. Perhaps all classes should just use static methods, like it used to be, and like things are usually done. Once this experiment is finished, we can start being more ambitious about converting more things to altrep, i.e. have altrep classes that uses the (potentially redesigned `Converter` code from `array_to_vector.cpp`). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
