[Rd] Debate: Shall some of Microsoft R Open Code be ported to mainstream R?

[Kenny Bell]

User here: incorporating Intel's MKL, as MRO does, would be a very welcome
addition.

I was an MRO user before and it improved my experience with medium data
immensely.

They did, however, leave behind bugs here and there, especially related to
development with Rcpp, so I switched back to vanilla R.
