[Bioperl-l] All done with Bio::DB::Query

Cool Lincoln.

Can't get_stream_by_batch rewritten to use the new code? Sorry if 
the answer is obvious.

I should have said that Bio::DB::Query is the namespace that I also 
use in bioperl-db for object-relational query modules. There's no 
clash yet of module names, and the chance for one is probably fairly 
low; I just thought I mention this here. If you or anyone else feels 
we need to better protect from possible future clashes, we need to 
rename either in bioperl-live or bioperl-db.
