[Biojava-l] issue with translating codons with N

[Michael Heuer]

You might also want to performance compare against Guava's ImmutableMap

http://docs.guava-libraries.googlecode.com/git/javadoc/com/google/common/collect/ImmutableMap.html

keeping in mind the javadoc note about caching hashCodes in the
elements if calculating them is slow.
