That would be really appreciated! It really sounds like we could do with an
update of some internals, and as seem to have spent some time in that corner
you are likely right now the most qualified person to do this.

I think that is out of scope, and should be not in the pull request, and
RInside repo.

By all means keep them in a branch / fork of yours if that is how you work,
but the RInside package is part of R ecosystem which has a well-established
empty intersection with the MSVC world and toolchains.
