## GenomicRangesList objects

### Description

A `GenomicRangesList` is a `List` of `GenomicRanges`. It is a virtual class; `SimpleGenomicRangesList` is the basic implementation. The subclass `GRangesList` provides special behavior and is particularly efficient for storing a large number of elements.

### Constructor

  `GenomicRangesList(...)`: Constructs a `SimpleGenomicRangesList` with elements taken from the arguments in .... If the only argument is a list, the elements are taken from that list.

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