Will start with Bio::Location then.

I will also try to put things in the wiki as i go along,  particularly
my understanding of the basic moose role/base classes that you have
added.

Of course it there is a core biomoose distribution,  then that namespace
makes a lot of sense for non-core modules. The philosophy also goes
nicely with the organization of current MooseX modules. And if something
in Bio::MooseX(really futuristic) becomes heavily important it can be
integrated into the core Bio::Moose namespace. The same thing is also
happening with MooseX::Attribute module.
