Does .C duplicate unnecessary arguments?  For instance

The first and fourth arguments would have NAMED = 0. Is my guess that .C
won't make yet one more (unnecessary) copy correct?

.C's internals (do_dotcode) does not know about NAMED. It duplicates (unless DUP=FALSE).

Use .Call if you want to control duplication.
