Could we directly save the metadata when we use the function makeTxDbFromGFF? #57

Dear Bioconductor team,

Lately, I used the function makeTxDbFromGFF to generate the TxDb from the gff3 file downloaded from Gencode. I also notice the additional information within the Gencode gff3 file is very useful, e.g. transcript_support_level, gene_type, and so on. I wondered whether it is possible to keep all this information when converting the gff3 file to a TxDb object. Thank you.

Best regards, You Zhou
