[R] uint8

[Jiefei Wang]

Hi Luca,

The answer to your question depends on your application. What do you want
to do with x3? Do you really need a native vector to represent x1 and x2?
Or you just want an object that behaves like it is a joint of x1 and x2? I
do not think you can have a native vector x3 without paying anything, this
is impractical, but if all you want to do is to have something that behaves
like x3, I think R's S4 class can achieve that.

Best,
Jiefei
