[Brian Osborne]

Mark,

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question but let me turn the
question around: would you like to help us fix this?

Subject: [Bioperl-l] Hierarchical location parsing


Hi,

confronted with a bug related to hierarchical location parsing[1], I
checked the source code of Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory.pm (both in
1.5 and bioperl-live). The comments around the code clearly state that
hierarchical locations are not supported.

Is this shortcoming due to performance concerns, or just because it
seems tedious to code ;D ?

[1] Example of hierarchical location description :
	join(1000,join(2000,join(3000,4000)))
