[Bioperl-l] SeqFeature::Generic 'frame' method

[Jason Stajich]

Currently we only support frames of 0,1,2 as part of gff support I'm sure.  
However, as I try and map a TBLASTN HSP to a SeqFeature, frames
can be -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3.  Does anyone see problems with extending the
supported values in the frame method to handle those above.  Does this
break GFF standards somehow?  I can imagine someone parsing a blast
report and writing the HSPs out as GFF features so it is quite likely that
the two cases shall meet.
