I agree, I would not modify the file content. At present it is however not 
possible to use e.g. getSeq on these TwoBitFiles, since the chromosome names in 
the submitted GRanges (e.g. 1) do not match the seqnames/seqinfo of the 
TwoBitFile. I don’t know if a seqnames or seqinfo method stripping of all but 
the first name-part would help here...
