That's because in this case you're using standard C++ mechanisms and there is 
nothing particularly special about Rcpp. So you should instead have a look at 
documentation on STL, in particular how algorithms (copy) work on containers 
(vectors) using iterators (begin/end), as well as operations on iterators and 
how they're similar to pointers.
