[R] uniroot speed and vectorization?

curiosity---given that vector operations are so much faster than scalar operations, would it make sense to make uniroot vectorized? if I read the uniroot docs correctly, uniroot() calls an external C routine which seems to be a scalar function. that must be slow. I am thinking a vectorized
