BTW just for consistent style, we said a while ago that we'd deprecate

I missed that discussion. Could you point me to it, please.
With the limited mailing list searches that work right now, here's what
I can point you to and comment.
- fall last year I refactored all array accessors in Bio::SeqI and
Bio::SeqFeatureI and its implementors to adhere to the
get_XXXXs()/add_XXXX()/remove_XXXXs() convention. If you check out
those modules you'll find that the each_XXXX() methods are only
synonyms anymore for backward compatibility. This was discussed to on
the mailing list before.
- the bioperl.lisp configuration for emacs provides templates for array
accessors that follow this convention (since a couple months already)
- here are a few mailing list links that I can ht:dig up right now:
http://portal.open-bio.org/mailman/htdig/bioperl-l/2002-September/
009473.html
http://portal.open-bio.org/mailman/htdig/bioperl-l/2002-October/
009725.html
http://portal.open-bio.org/mailman/htdig/bioperl-l/2002-September/
009494.html
Supposedly there should be more, like where I announce the addition to
the template, but I can't seem to find that.
