[Biococoa-dev] reading large fasta files

[Charles Parnot]

In general, it would be best to have the implementation hidden, so  
that indeed, the framework decides when to use one subclass or  
another. Just like NSString, NSData, or NSArray use different  
underlying data structures depending on the size of the data (I  
think). This is of course all hidden behind the class cluster design...

I also don't know how things are already implemented, maybe things are  
already addressed this way?
