Please feel free to adapt the existing code to suit your needs if the
interface we provide does not provide everything you require.  

And please keep in mind that most things are done from an R perspective using
its SEXP interface, not necessarily from a C++ perspective with function
pointers, lambdas, ...  

There may well be room for careful extensions.
