Every SEXP contains memory owned by R -- we create them that way and when we return them to R they are indistinguishable. They really are R objects. [ Also note the caveat that SEXPs are just SEXPs -- no reference counting. RObject is better, Rcpp::Shield<SEXP> is a more modern variant ] Hence when you want to share in the C++ side, STL containers may be preferable.
