I guess is_circular = True/False might be a bit nicer and avoids unnecessary
string comparisons in user code. I don't really mind though.

I thought it was fair enough to assume the sequence is linear if no qualifier
is specified in the GenBank file (sequences written by Biopython are like
that). That assumption works for my app, in any case. It would be good if I
didn't have to worry about is_circular or molecule being absent / None, not
sure if you think that is potentially misleading.
