Something to discuss at this week's EMBOSS meeting....

Among the possible 'report' formats for writing 'feature' data (any program
that reports start, end and score for some pattern) is a ListFile format to
write a list file that can be used to read in the subsequences.

For this we do need a USA syntax that includes start, end, reverse.

The syntax above would be a reasonable solution (with to..from for reversed
sequences)
