Are they? ... They are! Bio::Seq is actually inheriting from
Bio::RangeI! 

This has to be cruft! I can not see any reason for it 

... I just disabled start(), end() and strand() from my copy of
Bio::Seq, ran all tests and none of them are failing. 

Unless someone comes up with a very good reason to keep this
functionality, I am going to remove inheritance from Bio::RangeI from
Bio::Seq.
