In R code, get("...", environment()) will retrieve the DOTSXP object.
So another way is to write your wrapper functions like
someFunc <- function(...) {
.External("someFunc_extern", get("...", ifnotfound=NULL) )
}
If you're trying to mimic what substitute() et al do, you'll sometimes
need to follow a chain of promises-that-have-promises in the PREXP
slot until you get to the "real" one.
