[R-pkg-devel] [External] Re: Using DOTS from C API
Thank you all for such a wonderful discussion thread! I think we can hold off on an implementation until there is a formal C API for doing so.

*Question:* what is the best way to access a DOTSXP from R's C API in a function call.
In the future, there may be a C interface for that:

Currently, working with promises most likely requires some non-API entry points. What's the intended R-side call from the S3 method to Rust? What's the intended use on the Rust side?
