Are you doing anything with "join" features from GenBank files (or
similar compound features)? This is something I'm thinking about
changing in the Biopython SeqFeature objects - having a single
SeqFeature with a compound location, rather than as now having
a parent SeqFeature with child SeqFeatures for the sub parts
(which does not make sense with things like GFF3 where there
are real parent/child relationships between features).

I'm curious about the license choice - LGPL prevents Biopython
adopting it for example.
