I don't really see why it wouldn't, but maybe that's indeed what it did 
become in our case.

Personally: BCRoot is too heavy and doesn't sound like having to do 
anything with sequence units, and almost like a super super class 
everything derives from (like NSObject).  BCUnit, hmm I you persist ok, 
but still something in me doesn't like that either.
Why don't we pick BCToken? Or call the unit BCSymbol and what we call 
symbol now, a token, like BioJava does....
Again, if you are all in favour of BCUnit, that's ok.
