[BioC] Bimap and flatten()

[Marc Carlson]

Hi Laurent,

This documentation is just extra information about how these things are 
internally designed.  It is not expected that you will ever need to 
flatten a Bimap (the function is only used internally).  The description 
of the Bimaps has a lot of extra technical details that might be useful 
if you needed to make a custom package, but which are probably not 
interesting for most users the rest of the time.

If you were hoping to make a Bimap appear as something more like a 
simple data.frame you might just be looking for toTable().

Hope this helps,


   Marc
