In BiocGenerics: S4 generic functions used in Bioconductor

### =========================================================================
### The union(), intersect() and setdiff() generics
### -------------------------------------------------------------------------
###
### The default methods (defined in the base package) only take 2 arguments.
### We add the ... argument to the generic functions defined here so they can
### be called with an arbitrary number of effective arguments. See the \note
### section in ?BiocGenerics::union for the motivations.
