Thanks, Michael. Do you think there's a general use case for a replaceROWs,
NULL method or shall I just specify that in my package? I require it because
the slot is matrixOrNULL via a setClassUnion but I don't know how common that
is amongst other BioC devels.
setMethod("replaceROWS",
"NULL",
function(x, i, value) {
NULL
}
)
Thanks,
Pete
