[Bioperl-l] Transcribe in bioperl

[Mark A. Jensen]

Not a bad idea, a semantics-preserving/checking thing. 
transcribe() could return an object with alphabet == 'rna'
and the T's flipped, or bork if called against an object with alphbet != 'dna'.
I can add such a thing to Bio::PrimarySeqI (where all these doodads seem to 
be stashed), if desired.
