I did wonder if this is what you meant.  Checking Seq objects for
compliance with the stated (IUPAC) alphabets is a separate issue -
which I have been thinking about.  I've just filed Bug 2597 so we
don't forget about it.

Sure.  The suggested code for these new Seq object methods includes
docstrings, but I would also intend to show how they might be used in
the tutorial (probably examples like the ones shown in this email
discussion).
