[Bioperl-l] Bio::Cluster

Is there a plan to make general Bio::Cluster and Bio::ClusterIO classes?
I see that UnigeneIO is using Bio::SeqIO to do it's reading/writing, and
isn't inheriting from the (non-existant) Bio::Cluster class.

I was thinking about writing classes for the dbSNP XML files today.  Would
it be more appropriate to put them under Bio::DB or Bio::Cluster ?  Either
way I'll need to do some clustering to represent the refSNP/subSNP
relationship.

I guess this also has implications for future microarray classes.

Any good ideas?
