[Bioc-devel] RFC: eSet with two color data

I see your point. However, since both options A and B encode the same information (don't they?), it should be possible to do column subsetting with either. What piece of information is missing that keeps column subsetting from working in both cases? If that piece of information is truly missing or not implied, then, in my mind, the model needs to be enriched; options A and B should really be equivalent from an information content point-of-view, shouldn't they?
My point is simply that neither option works very well without some coding and that option B seems to have some benefits in terms of efficiency of some operations. The initial discussion implied that option A works out of the box in a sense, I'm no longer sure that is true. + seth
