They are one layer up, but they return strings at the moment. I guess
that's very nice to keep around, but in addition I would like to see
direct BCSequence class output in addition to prevent double parsing of
the files. (first to create a string and a second time to convert the
string to a BCSequence.). For that we need a sharedSeqIO controller or
if we want to keep more or less the same setup as it is now, a BCReader
and BCWriter controller/class.

Good morning!
