Right. I should have recalled that.

It does, but I cannot imagine I would ever have figured this idiom
out.
Maybe add an example to one of the help pages??

Awesome!
AFAICS, splitAsList has no help page. (It is used but not described
in the GenomicRanges HOWTOs vignette.)
I find GenomicRanges is an essential toolkit these days and would like
to be able to figure out idioms like these.
Anything that can be done to make idioms like these easier to find
and use is much appreciated.

Ditto the last comment, I think.
