[Biopython-dev] Is Martel always appropriate?

[Cayte]

It looks to me that Martel is not a good fit for SAF.  That is because the
approprate action depends on state information.  If the line starts with
"zebra" append the sequence to the zebra sequence, if it starts with
"giraffe" append to the giraffe sequence , if it starts with "unicorn"
append to the unicorn sequence.    Martel is not oriented to state machines
except as implied by the ordering of expressions.

A simpler approach would be to filter the comments out, then split each line
and use the label component as
a selector.  Please share your opinions.
