Can you send output from 'diff -ru old/ new/', please, so that we get a
proper patch ?  

I can guestimate what the three lines are and I am a little puzzled as to why
that is a problem, unless stupid Solaris defines a really bad _macro_ as in
which case it would be _much simpler_ if _you_ used

      #ifdef as
      #undef as
      #endif

at the header of your files if nobody else is bitten by end.   Then again,
for the rest the compiler should make sure that

     Rcpp::as<T>(....)

is not any more expensive than

     as<T>(...)


But about my polite request for help with Solaris cc compiler?  Could you
help there?   You are the living being from planet Solaris to set foot in
these corners and I mentioned, we do need some local help...

Thanks,  Dirk
