Hi all,

I am probably the oldest, so I will make the decision on the naming :)

After reading Alex' convincing plea for BCSymbol, I suggest we use that 
as the super class for nucletides, amino acids, etc:


BCSymbol
|
|
-------------BCNucleotideDNA
|
|
-------------BCNucleotideRNA
|
|
-------------BCAminoAcid
|
|
-------------???


For the sequence we'll use:

BCSequence
|
|
-------------BCSequenceDNA
|
|
-------------BCSequenceRNA
|
|
-------------BCSequenceProtein
|
|
---------???


Tonight I will commit a (for now empty) BCSymbol class and update 
BCSequence accordingly. John, can you update your BCSequenceDNABase 
class to reflect these changes too?


Cheers,

- Koen.
