Set and get cached commons

Get and set common cached information for each class. The setter should only ever be called in .cacheCommonInfo. The getter can be called anywhere but most usually in .defineInterface.

.getCachedCommonInfo(se, cls)

Arguments

se

A SummarizedExperiment object containing the current dataset.

cls

String containing the name of the class for which this information is cached.

...

Any number of named R objects to cache.

Value

.setCachedCommonInfo returns se with ... added to its int_metadata.

.getCachedCommonInfo retrieves the cached common information for class cls.
