[Bioc-devel] coerce ExpressionSet to SummarizedExperiment

Hi,

I added coercion from ExpressionSet to SummarizedExperiment in
SummarizedExperiment 1.7.6.

Thank you Herv?!

The current behavior of the SummarizedExperiment() constructor
when called on a ExpressionSet object doesn't make much sense to
me. I'd rather have it consistent with what the coercion does.
Will fix it.

Thank you, again.

A couple more questions while I'm at it, that may expose the limitations in
my understanding of inheritance and project history... 1) Why have some
developers chosen to extend eSet instead of ExpressionSet (definition
<https://github.com/Bioconductor/Biobase/blob/536f137165ca08b3be22819e51e055b3e7afe86d/R/DataClasses.R#L166>),
and 2) why are these coercion methods developed for ExpressionSet rather
than eSet? Wouldn't an eSet coercion method be preferable because it would
cover ExpressionSet as well as all the classes that extend eSet?
