     Combine a series of 'SegList' objects.

     ## S3 method for class 'SegList':
     cbind(..., deparse.level=1)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     ...: 'SegList' objects

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.

     For 'cbind', the matrices of 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. There is no 'rbind' function for the 'SegList'
     object.  This is because it would require 'SegLists' with mutually
     exclusive chromosomes or would result in combining multiple
     different segmentations for the same chromosome, which is
     pointless.  If 'rbind' is required perform it on an 'MAList' and
     then segment it.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An 'SegList' object holding data from all the arrays and all genes
     from the individual objects.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

     Gordon Smyth, modified by Mike Smith for SegList object

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'cbind' in the base package.
