[Bioperl-l] Proposed name change for 1.3 (1.4)

[Paul Edlefsen]

I've been working with Bio::SeqFeature::CollectionI, and have noticed
this inconsistency, that sometimes collections of Foos are called
FooCollectionI, and sometimes Foo::CollectionI.  I don't really know
why the word 'Collection' is at issue, but if we could be consistent
and make it Bio::Annotation::SetI instead of Bio::AnnotationSetI, that
would rumble well with my internal consistency meter.
