[Bioperl-l] Bio::Graphics::FeatureBase seq_id question

[Sendu Bala]

Bio::Graphics::FeatureBase::seq_id is currently implemented as a 
read-only alias to ref():
sub seq_id          { shift->ref()         }


What is the reasoning behind this? Can it be made to handle setting of 
the value as well?:
sub seq_id          { shift->ref(@_)       }


Cheers,
Sendu.
