Details

The following function is compiled and invoked:

        SEXP demangle_this_type(){
            typedef 
            return wrap( DEMANGLE(type) ) ;
        }
        
        SEXP sizeof_this_type(){
            typedef 
            return wrap( sizeof(type) ) ;
        }
    

DEMANGLE is a macro in Rcpp that does the work.
