Re: [Rd] combining large list of data.frames

Cole, Bioconductor's high throughput sequencing infrastructure package IRanges contains code that may be useful for speeding up base::rbind.data.frame. I've extracted the salient bits from that rbind method, but left the corner case handling code out. IRanges's rbind method took the approach
