[Bioperl-l] RFC: Refactoring the Hyphy module

[Fields, Christopher J]

Yes, fixing things on a github fork and submitting a pull request is generally the best approach to this.  If you have more substantial improvements over time we can add you as a developer on Github.

Generally, my coding philosophy is to mess with things as little as possible because of the possibility of unintentional side effects, but sometimes a refactor will be beneficial going forward, especially if it doesn't affect the API. What is the group policy on such things? Should I go ahead and attempt it on a branch, make the pull request, and see if anyone has a problem with the code?
