Val and I discussed this a bit, with the resolution that calling the GAlignmentPairs() constructor on the first and the second element of the GAlignmentsList was the 'easiest' way to go.
ga = unlist(gal[mcols(gal)$mate_status == "mated"]) GAlignmentPairs(ga[c(TRUE, FALSE)], ga[c(FALSE, TRUE)]) (completely speculative code). If I understand correctly, there's a check in for discordant pairs in readGAlignmentPairs, but not in GAlignmentPairs itself; could be mistaken though...

If there is an easy way to coerce a GAlignmentsList where all(lengths(x) == 2) to a GAlignmentPairs, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll add a coerce method. Debating whether it should discard elements of length != 2, or if it should fail.
