[Bioperl-l] Bio::AlignIO::metafasta tests

[Chris Fields]

Heikki,

I agree it's all a bit weird.  Not too concerning at the moment though since
it works at the moment but it might take some tinkering with SimpleAlign to
get it to behave.

This alignment format has some of the same characteristics as Stockholm
alignment format but looks easier to work with.  I work with RNA,
specifically one with a conserved secondary structure so this format appeals
to me quite a bit.  If I get time (probably not for a while) I may tinker
with Bio::AlignIO::stockholm to get a write_aln() method up-and-running and
see if I can convert back-and-forth from the two.

Chris
