[Bioperl-l] method naming

[Hilmar Lapp]

Thanks Chris for doing this - looks great. The only comment that I  
have is that method names should never start with a capital letter.  
If the getter/setter is for a single object (as opposed to a list),  
the name should probably be similar (if not identical) to the class  
being expected and returned, but lower-case.

E.g., $feature->location(), $seq->species() etc
