It seems that the coverage method for BamFile() reads the entire BAM file into memory and then calls coverage. Is there a coverage method for BamFiles that does not read the entire BAM file into memory first? If not, does it make sense to augment the BamFile coverage method to do so in chunks? It is easy enough to write code to do so and there is even an example in the GenomicRanges HowTos, but having the method handle the use case would simplify matters just a bit.
