Vignette Doesn't Specify Dimensionality Rules #52

One important item of information which I feel should be included in SummarizedExperiment vignette is that all of the assays need to have the same dimensions. For example, if the user had a gene expression microarray for which each gene was measured by two or three probes, the row number would be smaller for preprocessed data compared to the raw data and a MultiAssayExperiment might be used instead to store both varieties.

Hi Dario, I've added a note in a couple of places in the package. See #54. Best, Marcel
