[Bioperl-l] Bio::SeqIO::FTHelper

[Chris Fields]

I do have a rough outline of what I think could be done:

http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Handler-based_SeqIO_parsers

where you could switch out handlers to deal with incoming data  
chunks.  Any suggestions there are welcome.

I'll probably commit examples of the above in the next week or two  
(GenBank, EMBL, Swiss parsers using the same handlers) which don't  
use FTHelper.  So far I have all three passing tests based on genbank/ 
embl/swiss.t but they need a few more tweaks before I commit.
