Just a heads-up that while making these changes to IRanges, I broke
subsetting of DNAStringSet objects (and other XStringSet derivatives).
So please refrain from updating IRanges today. This is now fixed in
IRanges 2.4.3 (release) and 2.5.7 (devel) but the fix won't become
available via biocLite() before tomorrow.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

H.
