[Bioperl-l] GenBankParser comparison to bioperl parser

[Ewan Birney]

This is harder one to call:


I can see both arguments:

   - diversity of implementations in main repository good for pros and
experts to look at everything, see what is going on

   - diversity of implemetnations in main repository bad for newbies who
just get down right confused


Best solution - implementation that works in all cases, is easy to 
understand for newbies, powerful for pros, no performance issue, and 
*makes* the coffee.


Hmmm... thinking

(dangerous) look at adding it in as an underlying skeleton parser below
"SeqIO::genbank" into something like SeqIO::Raw::genbank and then move
SeqIO::genbank on top of that. This way people can drop down to "raw"
genbank mode.



John - would you be ok with this? I'll take a look at the feasibility of 
this...
