Hi Herve,


  2) A 'dropMcols' or 'dropmcols' method with signature 'GRanges' that is

a wrapper for
    mcols(x) <- NULL

How about setMcols(), which is more general than dropmcols()?

Do you mean a function like:

   setMcols <- function(x, value = NULL) {
     mcols(x) = value
     return(x)
   }

I'd be fine with this.  However, some argued before that setting to NULL
may be counterintuitive for non-advanced users.

Probably best to have both setMcols and dropMcols.

Best wishes
Julian
