There is a document of xts API. Please check `help("xtsAPI")` in R
with xts(0.9-1).
In my experience, we could write some functions based on exposed API:
- Query a subset of xts object based on row
subset(`Rcpp::DatetimeVector` or integer vector) and column
subset(string vector or integer vector)
- Convert `Rcpp::Matrix<RTYPE>` instance to xts object with given
index(`DatetimeVector`)
I have implemented these features, so I only need a skeleton of
Rcpp-like package. Could you give me some suggestion about this?

Well, I might do it if I use Rcpp and xts in another project.
I love Rcpp, so I am glad to do some contribution to it. :)
