In actual fact, the Bio.Fasta module predates Bio.SeqIO, and I was
thinking in a few releases time of suggesting its deprecation (but not
just yet as for several years it was the best documented and most used
parser in Biopython).
If we do decided keep Bio.Fasta (or extend it), then perhaps
Bio.SeqIO.FastaIO should become just a wrapper for Bio.Fasta
I'm still digressing your ideas to turn Bio.Fasta into a generic parser
that copes with sequences, qualities scores, or anything else.
