[Bioc-devel] GenomicFiles: some random issues

I admit negligence in not document this. But if you look at VRanges, you
can see how we set a method for "extraColumnSlotNames" returns a character
vector of slot names to tell GenomicRanges which slots should be treated as
columns (there is also an example in the previous email). These are then
handled automatically in subsetting, showing, validation, etc. This has
also been used in the exonfindR package (just submitted to Bioc). I'll put
documenting that feature on the TODO list.

Based on Chuck's email I realize I did not understand Michael's answer at

This comes down to an inheritance vs. composition decision, but I hope
everyone is aware of the extraColumnSlots mechanism in GRanges that

it easy to add additional "column-shaped" slots to a subclass of

GRanges.

Where is it documented, please?
