I second this, and would suggest to name the style as 'GRC' for "Genome
Reference Consortium".
thanks Vince for bringing this up, being able to easily switch between
genome styles is great.
if 'paste0()' in R is one of the most influential contributions to
statistical computing

i think that 'seqlevelsStyle()' from the GenomeInfoDb package is one of
the most influential contributions to human genetics, if you think about
the time invested by researchers in parsing and changing between
different styles of chromosome names :)
