[Bioc-sig-seq] Consolidating RangedData

I assumed that RangedDataList was the same as "list of RangedData".

at the moment I can't coerce one into the other:

as(LargeListOfSmallRangedData,'RangedDataList')
Error in as(LargeListOfSmallRangedData, "RangedDataList") :
  no method or default for coercing "list" to "RangedDataList"

so, I will have to stick to do.call().

Thank you,

Ivan
