Hello!

I think Biopython would benefit from a Decoys module, since decoy generation is an important step of proteomics workflows, and Biopython is already a useful tool for building proteomics pipelines. I think it could implement decoy SeqRecord Generators from provided SeqRecord Generators, together with specific functions that generate a decoy sequence from a given sequence, following a similar API to Biopython.SeqIO.

I am willing to develop the following module, implementing reverse, shuffle, pseudo-reverse and pseudo-shuffle decoy generators, the API, and unit testing.
