Maybe it could be useful to add a 'GCG checksum' attribute to the BioPython Seq
object.

Checksums could be used to quickly compare if two sequences are the same; but
in the documentation you should state very clearly that two sequences which
differ even for a single symbol (ex. AAANAAA and AAAAAAA) have different
values.
