[Rd] unexported symbols in libR.so of r-devel
Thanks to Matthias Burger, I came to know that in r-devel, a lot of symbols are no longer exported in libR.so, which breaks the package rpvm since it calls these functions in serialize.c. R_InitInPStream R_InitOutPStream Since the change is fairly recent (earlier this month), I guess the core team will be making further changes. In any case, please add these two to the exported list.

[Rd] C API to R connections?
Is it a public C API to R connection? I couldn't find any. Can I use the *Rconnection in user C code? Instead of straight fopen, I would like the ability to read in compressed file (gz, bz2), remote file, etc, using the implementation that R already has, with a uniformed interface. Also it would be nice to open the file/connect in R and handle any exceptions/errors in R but do the actually reading in C (I'm dealing with a binary format).

[Rd] matrix/array types, extending R API?
In writing R packages, I need some rudimentary support for matrix/array in C code and I would also like to use Blas/Lapack functions. Previously I just rolled out my own (simple) C++ classes. But it becomes troublesome for multiple packages (having duplicated files and needing to keep them in sync, etc.) I found that the src/library/stats/src/mAR.c defined struct Array and some utility functions, which would be useful. Since I think some simple matrix support is widely needed, I wonder if the core team would consider include this (or similar things, such as the C++ classes in package Matrix, with more intuitive interface to Blas/Lapack for 'casual' users) in R public API?
