Class "genesym" and other casting classes

Description

classes that help establish symbol semantics for dispatching

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("genesym", ...). and generally just extend character or numeric so that vector operations are straightforward

Currently, genesym is used to allow HUGO symbols to be passed to [; chrnum identifies numerals or numeric constants as indices into the set of chromosomes (no chr prefix is allowed); rsid identifies dbSNP identifiers; probeId identifies a string as a microarray probe identifier.

snpdepth identifies a number that will be used as the number of chromosome-specific test results to be retained in any genome-wide screen
