[Biojava-dev] TranslationTable

Just been looking around the TranslationTable stuff and I've
noticed a number of String constants on bio.symbol.TranslationTable
giving names for various genetic codes.  These weren't present
in 1.2x

It's probably worth having such constants somewhere, but they
seem to be `specifically biological' knowledge.  I thought the
plan was bio.symbol -> entirely abstract String package,
bio.seq -> biology.  Would the bio.seq.GeneticCodes class be
a more consistent (and intuitive) place to put these constants?
Or are people already attached to them in their current location?
