I was born 12/12/66, which makes me 37 for a few months.  That's why I
thought there was half a chance I might be the oldest, and can claim the
decision making ability.

Well, if we're not doing the full inheritance in the class name, every
instantiated version will be a nucleotide or amino acid, so this won't be as
much of a problem.

Koen put them in the BCSymbol class, so the nucleotide classes would inherit
them, which is why I overrode them.
