I think we can, and should. One may want his/her data matched to the 
tree according to the tip labels. We can match data using node numbers 
by default, but an option in the constructor should still allow one to 
match data as we did previously. One argument for this is that node 
numbers are tree-dependent, while taxon names are not. A  user may try 
to match a single data.frame of traits with several different trees, and 
it would be a pain to have to rename/reorder the row.names each time.

Cheers,

Thibaut.
