Effectively even though it is not treated as one by the users.  But you 
know what P in SEXP stands for, and Rcpp objects really are what we call
"proxy objects" for the respective underlying SEXP objects.

Searching the rcpp-devel list archives for the clone() function will bring
a number of preceding discussions.  As I said in the previous email, this
list is not the best place to discuss Rcpp matters --- rcpp-devel is. 
Please feel free to bring follow-up questions there.
