Subject: [Bioc-devel] BStringSet Documentation
Good day,
According to the documentation, I wouldn't think that substr or strsplit would work on a BStringSet, but substr does.
> IDs
A BStringSet instance of length 5
width seq

Error in strsplit(IDs, " ") : non-character argument
I think that both of these functions shouldn't work or both should work, to be consistent.
