Quoted from Bio::SeqIO:

       $seqIO->write_seq($sequence [,$another_sequence,...])

       Write the specified sequence(s) to the stream.

So, every implementation which doesn't understand write_seq(@seqobjs) has 
a bug by definition. If you've found any implementations which only take a 
single sequence, or that do not take an unnamed parameter, please report 
(ideally to the bug submission system on the website).
