That was my long-term intention.  I just wanted to get things working
quickly so that I could get translation and codons handled.  Once I was
happy with how they worked, I figured I could go back and sort out a better
class structure.  Even so, all the base methods have to be separate for DNA
and RNA, as they need to return something different so that == works as
expected, so the classes won't shrink as much as I'd have hoped.

Sorry, that didn't exist when I left on vacation, and as you noticed, I
simply copied the DNA file over.  I'll delete it the next time I have time
for some coding.

Yeah, that's just what comes when you create a new class with Xcode.  I
tried to go back and catch all of them, but I guess I missed a few.  For
something like this, you should feel free to just correct it.  The same
things can be said for this:
