[BioC] Time course experiment....

topTable() doesn't have a facility for sorting on or presenting the 
F-statistics, because it is individual coefficient orientated.

I have toyed with the idea that perhaps topTable() should output a 
table based on the F-statistic when the argument 'coefficient' is set 
to NULL. In other words topTable() would give individual coef 
significance when a coef is specified, otherwise it would give 
overall significance. Would you find that a useful facility?

Best wishes
Gordon
