Yes, we did :). I meant to do the optionalcascade refactor so the code
is more maintainable (and to prevent a corner case bug). But in
general, the optionalcascade fix looks to be fine. And for code marked
with the BiopythonExperimentalWarning, having a fix without test cases
seems better than no fix at all.

Peter, if you're fine with Kai's fix, I think we can mark this bug
solved and go on with the release. I'll add the test cases and
refactor the code later on.

Regards,
Bow
