yeah, for the database... but I didn't think this was coded into our objects
so tightly.  It doesn't *matter* so much, so long as people are aware of it.

yes, I mean they *behave* as if they are equal to each other!

perl -e 'my $x; print "yeah" if ($x==0)'

...doesn't give me the response I had anticipated, since $x can come into
the routine with a (valid) value of zero, or a null value of undef, and they
mean different things w.r.t. the routine.

you can pick yer friends, and you can pick yer...   yeah.... whatever.

Once I get a writeable adaptor later for Genbank working then it will be
functional.

do you mean every once in a while you say "wow", or do you mean that every
once in a while it just works?  ;-)
