Thank you Jim for the feedback.
I actually implemented it the way I describe it in my first email and it
seems fast enough for me.
Just to give a bit of context I will need it at some point in package kit.
I also implemented subset by row which I actually need more as I am working
on a faster ver
It looks to me like internally .subset2 uses `get1index()`, but this
function is declared in Defn.h, which AFAIK is not part of the exported R
API.
Looking at the code for `get1index()` it looks like it just loops over the
(translated) names, so I guess I just do that [0].

Hi,
Hope you are well.
I was wondering if there is a function at C level that is equivalent to
mtcars$carb or .subset2(mtcars, "carb").
If I have the index of the column then the answer would be VECTOR_ELT(df,
asInteger(idx)) but I was wondering if there is a way to do it directly
from the name
