Hmm. Why primary_seq() in the interface? The only reason this method
exists in Seq.pm is that it delegates to a PrimarySeq object, right?
Maybe I'm missing something here, maybe it's even in the IDL. In any
way, it's trivial to implement, non-delegating classes could just
return $self. (I assume SeqI inherits off PrimarySeqI, right?)
