Relax the R >= 3.5 requirement

[gaborcsardi]

What would it take to support R >= 3.2?

Just deleting the alt-rep stuff. I'm using it because I think the string cache is unnecessarily slow, but someone else pointed out that it can blow up memory.

What do you think about having an ALTREP free implementation for older R versions?

Hi Gabor, I updated the github version so that it works with R < 3.5. Instead of having two different versions, I used preprocessor macros to comment out alt-rep stuff if it detects R < 3.5.

Tested it out with R 3.4 on windows.
