Maybe I should mention that I also envisage a similar method for the
alignment object, to give a new alignment with any all-gap-columns
removed (perhaps with an optional argument to specify a threshold
for the number of gaps required - defaulting to only removing columns
which are all gaps).

Again, the simplest way to implement this is to re-use the new
alignment slicing and addition features - much as how I did it
for the proposed SeqRecord ungap method.
