I had been thinking about something similar. Maybe PL/R can create an
extension within the R environment that wraps PL/CUDA directly or at the
least provides a way to use a fast-path call. We should probably try to
start out with one common use case to see how it might work and how much
benefit there might be.

Correct (currently).
BTW, this is starting to drift off topic I think -- perhaps we should
continue off list?
Thanks,
