[BioC] Subset of samples with VariantAnnotation::readVcf

[Richard Pearson]

Hi

Is it possible to read in data on a subset of samples with readVcf? The 
only way I've found of doing this is to read in data on all samples, 
then subset, but it would be much more efficient for me to read in data 
only for my samples of interest.

Apologies if I've missed something obvious.
