title: Zero based arrays/vectors in R
body: <p>Is there some way to make R use zero based indexing for vectors and other sequence data structures as is followed,  for example in  C and python. </p>
  
  <p>We have some code that does some numerical processing in C,  we are thinking of  porting it over into R to make use of its advanced statistical functions,  but the lack(as per my understanding after googling) of zero based index makes the task a bit more difficult.</p>
