_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Function to join CDF allele A and allele B groups strand by
     strand.

     This 'function' is design to be used with 'applyCdfGroups'() on an
     Affymetrix Mapping (SNP) CDF 'list' structure.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     cdfMergeAlleles(groups, compReverseBases=FALSE, collapse="", ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  groups: A 'list' structure with groups.

compReverseBases: If 'TRUE', the group names, which typically are names
          for bases, are turned into their complementary bases for the
          reverse strand.

collapse: The 'character' string used to collapse the allele A and the
          allele B group names.

     ...: Not used.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     Returns a 'list' structure with the two groups 'forward' and
     'reverse', if the latter exists.
