[Rd] Accessing i'th element of a vector without using a macro

[Saptarshi Guha]

Exactly, that is what i use. I intend to do the operation using an FFI
library(i't s just a proof of concept, and there well might be
performance hits)
If such a function doesn't exist in libR.so, then i can write one.

Regards
Saptarshi
