Yeah, it's meant to simplify that process. It would return an instance of a biojava SequenceIterator.

I was planning on creating instances of SimpleSequences, with the label as the name and urn. I don't think any other properties are strictly necessary. Since Sequence extends SymbolList, all of the methods that should be called will be available.
