[BioC] IRanges: RangedData.values() deletes rownames

[Michael Dondrup]

Hi,

I remember having posted something like this earlier. 

calling values on a RangedData object deletes the ranges names, if the DataFrame doesn't have names, is 
that intentional?

> rd = RangedData(ranges=IRanges(start=1:2, width=1, names=c("A","B")), space=1)
> rownames(rd)
[1] "A" "B"
> values(rd) = DataFrame(somedata=1:2)
> rownames(rd)
NULL

I can work around this by setting them again: 

values(rd) = DataFrame(somedata=1:2, row.names=c("A","B"))
 but that's still a glitch...
