In LiNk-NY/TENxIO: Import methods for 10X Genomics files

#' TENxMTX: The Matrix Market representation class for 10X Data
#'
#' @description This class is designed to work with 10x MTX datasets,
#'   particularly from the multiome pipelines.
#'
#' @slot compressed logical(1) Whether or not the file is in compressed format,
#'   usually gzipped (`.gz`).
#'
#' @details The `TENxMTX` class is a straightforward implementation that allows
#'   the user to import a Matrix Market file format using `Matrix::readMM`.
#'   Currently, it returns a `SummarizedExperiment` with an internal `dgCMatrix`
#'   assay. To request other formats, please open an issue on GitHub.
#'
#' @return A `TENxMTX` class object

#' @exportClass TENxMTX

#' TENxMTX: Represent Matrix Market Format Files from 10X
#'
#' This constructor function accepts `.mtx` and `.mtx.gz` compressed formats
#' for eventual importing. It is mainly used with tarball files from 10X
#' Genomics, where more annotation data is included. Importing solely the
#' `.mtx` format will provide users with a `SummarizedExperiment` with an assay
#' of class `dgCMatrix` from the `Matrix` package. Currently, other formats are
#' not supported but if you'd like to request support for a format, please open
#' an issue on GitHub.
#'
#' @inheritParams TENxFile
#'
#' @param compressed logical(1) Whether the resource file is compressed (default
#'   FALSE)
#'
#' @return A `SummarizedExperiment` instance with a `dgCMatrix` in the assay
