Sorry, you're correct -- lazy-loaded data gets extracted not from the
package namespace but from the 'lazydata' portion of the namespace info.
Ultimately, I think you'll just want to call back to R to get what you
want, e.g.
getExportedValue("nycflights13", "flights")

Thanks for the reply. The solution of requiring the namespace from within Rcpp
hadn't occurred to me.
I had used Environment::namespace_env("pkg_name") before, but I think the
problem here is that lazy-loaded (and maybe other elements we expect in R) are
not available if this is done from Rcpp.
The environments called 'package:foo' are associated with attached
packages; that is, they're located on the search path. You likely want to
find the actual package namespace.
I think we have a static function Environment::namespace_env() for this. Or
you can just call back to R with requireNamesp
