Could you provide a definition or reference for 'constructor validator'?
That is not a term we use here regularly.

Well 'Foo' is not something R or Rcpp knows about so you would have to write
converters first.  See Rcpp-extending for as<>() and wrap().  But I would
start simpler with basic interfaces using known Rcpp types and/or atomistic
C++ types.
