[BioC] hexbin, par("usr"), legend

Are there any plans for changing the behavior of "plot.hexbin"
w.r.t. the graphics parameters, especially 'par("usr")'?  The current
behavior makes it hard to add elements to the plot (which is a really
handy and attractive plot, I should add).  I know I can create a
type="n" plot of the x-range and y-range, use 'hexagons' to add the
hexagons, and add other elements to my heart's content .... but then
the legend for the hexagon colorramp becomes a difficulty (the
documentation is clear that the legend function is not really meant to
be called by a user, but only by "plot.hexbin").

Thanks,
Jenny
