You are misreading what Kevin said. You short ten-line example runs fine. We are not saying it has an error. What Kevin explained to you is that in the context of larger programs, possibly with inputs you don't know yet, some errors may occur. And both Rcpp:Function() and Rcpp::stop() can recover from that. Your example cannot. So by all means use it as a small (local) script if the few milliseconds matter to you. But think twice about using it in a larger context, or about promoting it as a general solution, and understand why we can't put it into Rcpp as is.
