[Bioc-devel] BiocGenerics request

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi Stephanie,

Can you provide a little bit more context? Have you observed
conflicts between VariantAnnotation:::asVCF() and other asVCF()
functions defined elsewhere? Any reason why you can't use/import
VariantAnnotation:::asVCF() in your package?

Alternatively, have you considered using/defining a coercion method
to VCF instead? That should work (and would be preferred) if you
don't need the extra arguments that an "asVCF" method would allow
you to support.

The VCF class is defined in the VariantAnnotation package so it
would be weird to have the asVCF() generic in BiocGenerics.

Cheers,
H.
