Here comes the magic.

The internal function table (R_FunTab) is not hidden. With a bit of 
copying from R's unexported Defn.h, you can get the function pointer for 
the internal rank. see this gist:

However, if you do this in a package, there is a good chance R CMD check 
will moan about it because you use R_FunTab.
