[Phylobase-devl] Planning the next release of phylobase

If integer IDs (same as edge numbers from edge matrix) are the way we  
will identify nodes "internally", I could go through and modify the  
check_data code to work either with row.names or a column of labels  
when attaching data to a phylo4d. Rather than breaking the existing  
check_data and tdata functions, I will try to build on the code in  
pdata.R.

 From your email it seems like you've already been working on this and  
have a new node.label structure set up? Could you send around or  
commit the changes you've made to the node.label code?
