Just for the record, I've removed the usage of ifelse() by VRanges in
release and devel.

Michael, Hervé,
thanks for your enlightening discussion about proper overload of base::
methods. I guess you're going to take action on the S4Vectors package
(and not IRanges, as I wrongly put on the subject), right?
i'm afraid i lack a full understanding of what are the best practices
when
Ok, thanks. That's what R (in my working copy) basically does now. Since
internal sub-assignment is vector-based, it just calls as.vector(). That
vector may be subsequently "promoted" given the type of "x" and "value"
(like integer to real, real to character, etc). So it could be optimized,
but it

The problem is that S4 objects are seen by that code as "scalar" and are

News to me. Why was this deprecated? Why can't the ifelse() method just do
what it is now telling the user to do? Is it to make the inefficiency of
the implementation more obvious? The goal with Rle was to make it behave as
conveniently and as vector-like as possible.

hi,
one of the recent changes in the devel IRanges has been to defunct the
'ifelse' method for 'Rle' objects. This was warned during the previous
devel cycle and so it does with current release.
One of the affected functions is the VRanges object constructor,
'VRanges()'. Since I use this fu
