Zero-overhead R and C/C++ integration with FastR

Traditionally, C and C++ are often used to improve performance for R applications and packages. While this is usually not necessary when using FastR, because it can run R code at near-native performance, there is a large corpus of existing code that implements critical pieces of functionality in native code. Alternative implementations of R need to simulate the R native API, which is a complex API that exposes many implementation details. They spend significant effort and performance overhead to simulate the API, and there is a compilation and optimization barrier between languages. FastR can employ the Truffle framework to run native code, available as LLVM bitcode, inside the optimization scope of the polyglot environment, and thus have it integrated with no optimization and integration barriers.
