Hi Pete,

Excellent idea. That will make things like table() work out-of-the-box
on GenomicRanges objects. I'll add that.

Thanks,
H.

Would people be interested in having this:

setMethod("as.character", "GenomicRanges",
           function(x) {
               paste0(seqnames(x), ":", start(x), "-", end(x))
           })

?

I find myself doing that a lot to make unique names or for output that
goes to collaborators.  I suppose we might want to tack on the strand if it
isn't "*".  I have some code for going the other direction too, if there is
interest.
