I don't follow. Rcpp::NumericVector is _not_ templated. It always uses
double; and Rcpp::IntegerVector uses int and so on.

So your 'convert' should not be a template function.  

Next, because you stay NumericVector (or equivalent) there is no need to
reinvent wrap() as it already works.

But maybe I misunderstood.  Also:

You may want to glance at the list archives. There have been quite a few working
examples and gems posted.

Cheers, Dirk
