OK, sorry I've just come back from a Easter trip; it'll be too late for your original request but I'll tidy up some examples and post back when they're ready. By the way, have you considered setting up a sort of wiki so that users could share tips and short recipes with Rcpp? I find that archived emails are not always reliable as the code may change substantially with time, and vignettes + unit tests are more intimidating and not as convenient. ggplot2's wiki and stackexchange seem to work well for this purpose nowadays.
