As briefly mentioned in Bioconductor/GenomicRanges#54. Currently, I only see in ?Seqinfo:
‘merge(x, y)’: Merge ‘x’ and ‘y’ into a single Seqinfo object where the
keys (aka the seqnames) are ‘union(seqnames(x),
seqnames(y))’. If a row in ‘y’ has the same key as a row in
‘x’, and if the 2 rows contain compatible information (NA
values are compatible with anything), then they are merged
into a single row in the result. If they cannot be merged
(because they contain different seqlengths, and/or
circularity flags, and/or genome identifiers), then an error
is raised. In addition to check for incompatible sequence
information, ‘merge(x, y)’ also compares ‘seqnames(x)’ with
‘seqnames(y)’ and issues a warning if each of them has names
not in the other. The purpose of these checks is to try to
detect situations where the user might be combining or
comparing objects based on different reference genomes.
A user could possibly infer the presence of N-ary functionality for Seqinfo's merge from ?"merge,Vector,Vector-method", if one happened to stumble across that documentation... but I wouldn't bet on it.
