deparse.level: not currently used, see 'cbind' in the base package

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     'cbind' combines data objects assuming the same gene lists but
     different arrays.  'rbind' combines data objects assuming
     equivalent arrays, i.e., the same RNA targets, but different
     genes.

     For 'cbind', the matrices o f expression data from the individual
     objects are cbinded. The data.frames of target information, if
     they exist, are rbinded. The combined data object will preserve
     any additional components or attributes found in the first object
     to be combined. For 'rbind', the matrices of expression data are
     rbinded while the target information, in any, is unchanged.
