I thought it was clear for all of us, and this is what I tried to  
articulate in the header for the BCAbstractSequence.
You have two options for BCSequence classes:
* a bunch of typed sequence classes
* a non-typed class BCSequence that can be of any type and respond to  
any message

Once you choose one option, it is probably easier to stick to it.

This is exactly the right approach (and I am not kidding!). Pick one  
option and forget about the other option.
