I do not find clean way to do it... We may need to couple sub_locations
into SeqFeature interface directly or something if we decide not to use
recursion.

That was intention. The typedef.idl is better name than CORBA.idl,
though.

BTW Currently our own sequences are declared in modules just after
corresponding items. Also typedefs for constants (e.g SeqTypeDef) etc
are declared in "appropriate" modules. I guess that this is OK? I.e. no
need to move those into separate file/module.

Note also that we are using suffix List instead of Seq.
