I was a bit surprised about $seq->desc retrieving the entire FASTA header line
Actually, in Bioperl 1.52 at least $seq->desc returns the description
only, so without the ID. Thus, to get the entire FASTA header line
$seq->id . " " $seq->desc would be needed.

For the modules I use (mainly related to sequences, such as SeqIO,
SimpleAlign), I'd be happy to contribute on docs, checking docs, or
examples.
