[Bioperl-l] Truncate sequence with features

Seems to work fine as far as I can tell (no errors, and to_FTstring 
reproduces the location as expected).

I think it would be misleading to imply that a location was complete 
when it is only a part of the originally annotated feature. From the FT 
definition the other possibility would be to include the missing parts 
of the feature as remote locations, I guess that may be more satisfactory.
