Is this not a bug in `vExplorer' (unexplained, but I believe in a BioC
package -- by no means all R users have any experience of BioC)?
Why change the docs to a limitation of some application not part of
core R?
I do wonder why you sent this to R-bugs and not to the maintainer of
vExplorer. Or was this a very minor comment on English grammar padded by
something not relevant?
