Should have mentioned (even if not directly relevant to bsseq) that

sset[seqnames(sset) == "chr1",]
In the end I still don't like the semantic fit between [ and the overlap 
implied by sset[gr,]
I found it difficult in Biobase to write combine methods for eSet, where 
you're really requiring a lot from the user (about the phenoData / 
featureData structured in the same way) or going through contortions to 
make it the same in a reasonable-but-ad-hoc way (e.g., when two columns 
are factors with the same set of levels but encoded differently). Maybe 
the effort required is proportional to the utility of the function 
provided... I'll give it some more thought.
