\description{
  A \code{GenomicRangesList} is a \code{\link[IRanges:List-class]{List}}
  of \code{\linkS4class{GenomicRanges}}. It is a virtual class;
  \code{SimpleGenomicRangesList} is the basic implementation.  The
  subclass \code{\linkS4class{GRangesList}} provides special behavior
  and is particularly efficient for storing a large number of elements.

\seealso{
  \code{\linkS4class{GRangesList}}, which differs from
  \code{SimpleGenomicRangesList} in that the \code{GRangesList} treats
  its elements as single, compound ranges, particularly in overlap
  operations. \code{SimpleGenomicRangesList} is just a barebones list
  for now, without that compound semantic.
