[Bioc-devel] Suggestion: export function fetchChromLengthsFromEnsembl in GenomicFeatures

Hi jo,

getChromInfoFromBiomart() is a higher level function that is
exported, documented, and intended to be used by the user for
that, rather than internal helpers fetchChromLengthsFromEnsembl()
and fetchChromLengthsFromEnsemblPlants().

However, after some discussions here with Marc and Sonali, my
understanding is that the GRanges objects made from the Ensembl
GTF files are going to have their seqinfo updated soon so you
won't need that.
