R CMD check now produceS a WARNING if a package uses STRING_PTR. If
your use of the pointer is read-only then you can call STRING_PTR_RO
instead. If your code is writing to the string data then you will
need to change your code. The only supported way to modify string data
is to use SET_STRING_ELT. This restriction is necessary to preserve
the integrity of the memory management system.
