kind of an odd question, so kind of an odd answer.
I'd say this was an implementation of skip lists in C with an R
interface. An example of a data structure implementation in R is
Matloff's binary tree
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e12/help/10/10/0519.html
which is perhaps more helpful for understanding the opportunities and
limitations of the R language per se.
