You are right, sounds pretty contradictory (and is to some extent as 
Koen made a good point which made me think about it again and see 
things differently a bit). The point is that I do see the need for a 
CONVERTION of BCSequences to c structures (i.e., c arrays) that's 
clear. However I do not see the need for REMAPPING char symbols to 
different characters. Given that, and Koen's remark, I do not see why 
this would need a special object and can't be done in two or 3 methods 
in BCSequence itself. Hope that makes my schizophrenia more explainable 
;-) More to follow...
