[Rd] Interrupting C++ code execution

Thank you for this suggestion. CXXR is a very interesting project!

For my current project, however, I aim at distributing the program to
other R users on pre-installed cluster nodes. Thus, I have no choice
with respect to the underlying R interpreter.

Best regards,
