Ambiguous < operation for logical (compiler error)

[vspinu]

With the following file

#include <cpp11.hpp>
#include <algorithm>

void c_test(cpp11::logicals t1, cpp11::logicals t2) {
  std::min(t1[0],t2[0]);
}

I get

Relatedly automatic promotion to double does not work:

void c_test(cpp11::logicals t1, cpp11::logicals t2) {
  /* std::min(t1[0],t2[0]); */
  double x = t1[0];
}
//    error: conversion from ‘cpp11::r_bool’ to ‘double’ is ambiguous

[vspinu]

Other missing methods on r_bool and double +=, -=, -, *=, *.

Not sure what to do with this. This limitation inhibits development of generic code on doubles, integers and logicals simultaneously.
