[Bioperl-l] SeqWithQuality and biosql

I have not actually talked about this with Chad, but I've had a long time plan
to refactor Bio::Seq::SeqWithQuality to inherit from Bio::Seq::MetaI. It does
not at the moment because Chad was there first. Some time later there were
some other needs to attach meta information to residues and to avoid having
several implementations in bioperl I wrote Bio::Seq::MetaI and its
I do not know if there are any issues why Bio::Seq::SeqWithQuality could not
be Bio::Seq::MetaI, but it would be good thing to explore that, and implement
only one very generic way to store residue-based meta values in biosql.
