I don't think we need the sequence cluster functionality for the  
BCSequenceGroup class. We could reserve the name BCSequenceCluster  
for such a class we could eventually create in the future (if there  
is any need for this). The BCSequenceCluster class could then inherit  
from BCSequenceGroup.
