Attaching a big.matrix object

Now that the big.matrix object is on the disk, we can use the information stored in the descriptor file to instantly make it available during an R session. This means that you don't have to reimport the data set, which takes more time for larger files. You can simply point the bigmemory package at the existing structures on the disk and begin accessing data without the wait.
