My only comment is watch out for the fact that Bio.SeqIO is now
calling Bio.Sequencing for the "ace" and "phd" formats.

On a related note, I'd had some ideas for making the Ace parser more
user friendly by further extending the doc strings and defining
__str__ or __repr__ methods for some of the "line type classes" which
otherwise must be explored by using dir() to discover the properties.
I haven't actually done any work on this yet though.
