[Bioperl-l] Feature/Annotation rollback finished

[Chris Fields]

display_text() is really a hack for explicitly getting the same  
output one would have expected from stringification overload for any  
Bio::AnnotationI (you can also use callbacks on it for customizing it  
if needed, but that's not important here).  It works depending on the  
context of what you're trying to accomplish, but it might be best to  
use value() specifically in places where you expect only using  
Bio::Annotation::Simple.
