Exactly the same here.  You misunderstood the example and failed to grasp the
generality.

All you do is specify a signature -- i.e. accepting two NumericVector and
returning a third.   Then the external pointer takes care of everything.  You
as the API provider known nothing about the supplied functions.

Ditto in RcppDE. Optmises any function.
