I truly and honestly love you guys and use zoo and xts daily. And even though
I use them so much (and have so much use at the R level) I haven't been
tempted (yet) by trying to milk the C interface from C++ code.  Whatever I
need was easily achievable via  as.numeric(index(someXtsOrZooVar)) and work
on floats.  

But maybe the time is right.  Having Jeff's powerful iso8601 indexing at the
C++ level would be nice, for example. Wu Wush may have some ideas too.

Awesome.

Well it's a C project so I will abstain :) 

And you guys deserve some good old ribbing for the multi-year process
of moving code around :) Appreciate the stability though.
