[Rd] R_ext/Altrep.h should be more C++-friendly

[Gabe Becker]

Michael,

Thanks for reaching out. This was brought up by Romaine Francois offline to
me as well. What he does as a workaround is


#define class klass
extern "C" {
  #include <R_ext/Altrep.h>
}
#undef class

While we consider changing Altrep.h, the above should work for you  in the
immediate term.

Let me know if it doesn't.
