conclusion: Romain Francois is an absolute beast of a programmer
I'll put this on my grave.
This was indeed crazy times where all that mattered was to get more and
more and more into Rcpp.
A stupid-ish question: how do ReferenceClasses map onto Rcpp objects?
Have people done this? Where can I look for examples?
Also, are other people who use Rcpp falling into the habit of using
'=' instead of'<-' for assignment in R, so that moving code to C++
goes more smoothly?
Is there any real downside to this habit? It came up at the BioC
conference developer day this year and was more or less immediately
dismissed.
Thanks all,

There are some comments in some places. Generally speaking, not enough
though. But if you to the sources and recurse through inst/include/ and src/
and count lines you end up with ... 60,000 lines. That's a lot.
And a good deal of it was written by Romain in a fairly short and insanely
productive period. And on the margin I'd rather have working code than more
documentation and less code ...
And we do have eight vignettes though (including the one you lead :-) so it's
not all lost. And then again, if need to make a difference between
__interfaces__ which clearly documentation for users and __implementation__
which does need it less.
