[Biojava-dev] Proposed change to RichFormat interface

[mark.schreiber at novartis.com]

maybe the method should be something like

public String currentParseString()

The question is should the currentLineNumber be the start of the parse 
block or the end?

I would favour the start of the parse block. This would be more like 
compiler type behaivour but might be trickier to code??

It's worth pointing out that most of the parsers bunch together lines,
so the methods below would probably print out the line number on which
the group of lines started, followed by the entire group. Not sure if
that's exactly what you had in mind, but I'm sure it'd help a little
bit.
