Hello,

The append function works in a strange way because it modifies its
first argument, as well as the result variable. Unusual for R, anyway.
It would be nice to document this behaviour. Notice in the example
that both combined and celSet have been expanded to 12 elements.

cdf <- AffymetrixCdfFile$byChipType("Hs_PromPR_v02")

celSet <- AffymetrixCelSet$byName("H2A", cdf = cdf )
> celSet
