I've marked it as deprecated, but since it doesn't really have any
executable code a deprecation warning doesn't seem relevant.
We can probably remove this after the next release.

Thanks for flagging up this bit of the code Lucas.

Going further, the SequenceIterator isn't used either, and perhaps
could be dropped too? We do use the similar class in AlignIO...
