I have just checked in org.biojava.bio.symbol.FuzzyLocation which deals with

don't know how to handle the interval case (x.y rather than x..y) so I
intend to duck that untill absolutely necisary.

In an earlier post, there was a request for 'between' locations - I still
can't see how to do that cleanly, so I haven't added it yet.
