I suggest to use one single class to represent a sequence ->  
BCSequence. (BCAbstractSequence and others are really not present :-)).
But it seems everybody except from me likes the oversized ( just my  
opinion ;-) ) inheritance model.

This is to replace BCSymbol and BCSymbolSet classes, following the  
Flyweight-Pattern. It's hard to explain, perhaps you look at the
