Subject: [Rd] R_MakeExternalPtr 'tag' argument
Message-ID: <CAF8bMca-F4pHPdmRMCZ2Wu+_8UbHzq_BV+8+8fvFknS5XghhuA@mail.gmail.com>

Most packages that use the R_MakeExternalPtr function use
Rf_install("pkgSpecificString") for its 'tag' argument (if they don't use
R_NilValue).  A few use Rf_mkChar("pkgSpecificString").

Is there any reason to prefer one over the other?
