Yes, I see.  My colleague and I are just starting to use Rcpp and are in the
process of converting a mildly complicated piece of R code.  We got into the
habit of using Rcpp::List:create as a kind of glorified "cout", just so we
could compare the values returned by C++ against the values returned by R.
We're not actually using the structure for any of the calculations.

Thanks for your help.
