#' Calculate a set of kinematics parameter from a \code{TrajectorySet} object, or a single parameter, or from a single trajectory (all possible combinations)
#' 
#' The computed set of parameters include \code{delta.x}, \code{delta.t} and \code{delta.v}
#' (displacements and instantaneous velocity), \code{totalTime}, \code{totalDistance},
#' \code{distStartToEnd}, \code{curvilinearVelocity}, \code{straightLineVelocity} and
#' \code{linearityForwardProgression}, Mean Squared Displacement, velocity
#' autocorrelation, and more. If a single trajectory is specified, the computation is
#' performed for that trajectory alone. If a parameter is specified, only that
#' parameter is reported, either for one or all trajectories
#' 
#' @param trajectoryset A \code{TrajectorySet} object
#' @param trajectoryIDs The ID of a single trajectory
#' @param acquisitionFrequency The frame rate of acquisition for the images, in
#'   milliseconds
#' @param scala The value of micro(?)meters to which each single pixel
#'   corresponds
#' @param feature Character string, the name of the feature to be computed
#'   
#' @return A \code{KinematicsFeaturesSet} object, or a \code{KinematicsFeatures} object,
#'   or an atomic value, or a list(eventually coerced to a vector)
