need to think about this a bit more. Does it just return xyz position of root node of neuron? Guess it could be overloaded e.g. to cope with catmaidneurons. Should it have a strict mode that requires unambiguous evidence that a node was tagged as the soma?

Further to this, there is at least one reason with catmaid neurons to want to separate the root node from the soma. The root node tells us where tracing started. This could also be specified with a tag of course, but this will not usually be the case.

* from read.neuron.catmaid
* we may add a somapos generic function to nat 
  (see natverse/nat#260)
* in which case this might need a little tidying up
* which is fine because it is not a user visible function for now
