Let's sleep over it for a day. I like more compact, but I also dislike ugly
words.  But maybe Rcpp::RObj is indeed a keeper.  Or maybe even Rcpp:SExp or
Rcpp::RExp a la Rserve's client code.

I seem to be getting a cold, and I am on the hook for a contributing a new
GPU-based Mersenne Twister RNG to the gpuTools package.

That would be nice. I would still be in favour of tossing out all that
vignette business and just doing tests the GG/MM/RWiki way.  If you get the
other stuff to behave, fine.

Even with warts and missing tests it has a ton of cool functionality. We
should release.  

Again, kudos and thanks for the all the work.  Now get some sleep :)
