[Bioperl-l] Bio::SeqFeatureI issues

[Hilmar Lapp]

Neither seqname() nor seq() nor entire_seq() are on SeqFeatureI, but 
I'm sure are used all over the place as if they were (in fact, they 
are even used in decorating methods on SeqFeatureI).

Somehow we've got used to treat everything in SeqFeature::Generic as 
present in every implementation of SeqFeatureI ...

Not good. I suggest to promote all three to Bio::SeqFeatureI. 
Similarly, attach_seq() should also be promoted. Anyone got 
objections, or has anyone thoughts why this may be a bad idea?
