The problem is that the function that ape exports is way too slow. Using C 
directly really sped up my program, which is a bit slow even at that…

If ape doesn't export seq_root2tip, then you shouldn't use it.  Use
whatever function ape exported.

In R, most functions are objects, there isn't really a distinction
between variables and functions.

"phy_tree" and "phy_tree<-" are two different functions.  Import both of
them (if both are exported).
