There is no "remove" call. This will come down to SeqFeatures having an
idenity, potentially different from its memory identity. We could get this
into the main trunk. I would claim the following methods would be ok.


  $seq->remove_SeqFeature($feature); # can throw "is not a valid a
seqfeature"


this should go into SeqI and the Seq.pm implemention. If noone complains,
feel free to do it yourself on the main trunk.
