Hello,
Functions such as vmatchPattern and vmatchPDict naturally lend themselves to being parallelised. Could they be enhanced to accept a BiocParallelParam object ? Or, is there no significant performance difference using them as-is and having the bplapply loop surrounding them and repeatedly calling DNAString (it's odd that vmatchPattern - for searching BSgenome objects - requires a DNAString for the pattern, rather than a DNAStringSet) or DNAStringSet ?
