Hi guys,
Was just checking out GenomicFiles and was a little surprised that the
arguments to the REDUCER are different depending on iterate=TRUE vs.
iterate=FALSE. In my often flawed opinion, iteration should not be a
concern of the REDUCER. It should be oblivious to the iteration mode. In
other words, when iterate=TRUE, it is a special case of having two objects
to combine, instead of multiple.
What would be convenient (but unnecessary) is to detect from the formal
arguments whether REDUCER is variadic or list-based. In other words, if
REDUCER is defined like function(...) { } it is called via do.call(),
otherwise it is passed the list.
Thoughts? Maybe I'm totally confused?
