Changing the Seq object to be a subclass of string might be nice... but perhaps
rather confusing for minority alphabets where the "letters" are not single
characters(*).  More importantly, wouldn't this dramatic change break a lot of
existing scripts? Probably something for the mailing list!

(*) I've never done it, but one example is storing three letter protein
sequences, nice if you have any post translational modifications which cannot
be represented using the single letter scheme.
