Contributions welcome! The "tess" object has several different forms, each 
of which will need a different method. My guess would be that coercing to 
owin first, and coding the next coercion step(s) - there are also several 
types of owin - would work, but there are more methods available now from 
sp classes to spatstat classes than the reverse.
