[Bioc-devel] rbind for ExpressionSet objects?

An rbind() method or an rbind-like function for ExpressionSet objects 
would be useful.  Any plans for such a function?

At the moment, an ExpressionSet object can be subsetted by rows or 
columns.  Column subsets can be put back together using combine(), but 
there's no way I think to put row subsets back together.

BTW, the help page for the generic function combine() includes the idea of 
combining by rows, but this concept is not honoured by the combine method 
for the eSet class.

Cheers
Gordon
