[Bioperl-l] Bio::SeqFeature::Annotated and mandatory type checking

[Scott Cain]

As much as I would like to take credit for this :-)  Allen Day wrote the
original code, and then Chris Fields tried to fix it so that it actually
worked :-)  I think it would be a good idea to have a validate_terms
option like Bio::FeatureIO::gff.
