I think requiring someone to write a whole class just to get their
favorite FASTA output is a bit much, don't you? They might as well just
explicitly print out '>', the ID, a space, the description, a newline,
and the sequence (while Bioperlers are adding a description setter in
the FASTA writer, if there isn't one).
