Struct AsExternalPtr 

pub struct AsExternalPtr<T: IntoExternalPtr>(pub T);

Wrap a value and convert it to an R external pointer when returned from Rust.

Use this wrapper when you want to return a Rust value as an opaque pointer that R code can pass back to Rust functions later.

Example

struct Connection { handle: u64 }

impl IntoExternalPtr for Connection { /* ... */ }

#[miniextendr]
fn open_connection(path: &str) -> AsExternalPtr<Connection> {
    AsExternalPtr(Connection { handle: 42 })
}
// In R: open_connection("foo") returns an external pointer
