Yeah - the GFF parsing and SeqFeature/FeatureLocation stuff would
benefit from some in person discussion. This is all very fresh in my
mind from the EMBL/GenBank side of things as I have got GenBank
feature writing in Bio.SeqIO to work (in CVS), and have been looking
at replacing the current GenBank/EMBL location parser with something
re based for speed (see Bug 2738 for a proof of concept, I have a
more complete version in progress).
