Thanks Doug.

I feel silly asking this, but could you please point me to the docs for
the S4 class? I assume that's the Rcpp::S4 class?  I've seen it mentioned
various places (e.g. the Rcpp-introduction vignette) but I can't seem to
find a list of its methods & API.  begin() is a method I'd never heard of,
I assume it returns a pointer to the first element of the vector?
