    # you need to derive your own processor from this one
Description
This provides just a basic framework for implementations of
Bio::Factory::SequenceProcessorI.
Essentially what it does is support a parameter to new() to set
sequence factory and source stream, and a next_seq() implementation
that will use a queue to be filled by a class overriding
process_seq().

 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $obj = new Bio::Seq::BaseSeqProcessor();
 Function: Builds a new Bio::Seq::BaseSeqProcessor object 
 Returns : an instance of Bio::Seq::BaseSeqProcessor
 Args    : Named parameters. Currently supported are
             -seqfactory  the Bio::Factory::SequenceFactoryI object to use
             -source_stream the Bio::Factory::SequenceStreamI object to
                          which we are chained
source_streamcodeprevnextTop
 Title   : source_stream
 Usage   : $obj->source_stream($newval)
 Function: Get/set the source sequence stream for this sequence
           processor.

 Example : 
 Returns : A Bio::Factory::SequenceStreamI compliant object
 Args    : on set, new value (a Bio::Factory::SequenceStreamI compliant
           object)
next_seqcodeprevnextTop
 Title   : next_seq
 Usage   : $seq = stream->next_seq
 Function: Reads the next sequence object from the stream and returns it.

           This implementation will obtain objects from the source
           stream as necessary and pass them to process_seq() for
           processing. This method will return the objects one at a
           time that process_seq() returns.

 Returns : a Bio::Seq sequence object
 Args    : none
See Bio::Factory::SequenceStreamI::next_seq
write_seqcodeprevnextTop
 Title   : write_seq
 Usage   : $stream->write_seq($seq)
 Function: writes the $seq object into the stream

           This implementation passes the sequences to the source
           stream unaltered. You need to override this in order to
           have sequence objects altered before output.

 Returns : 1 for success and 0 for error
 Args    : Bio::Seq object
sequence_factorycodeprevnextTop
 Title   : sequence_factory
 Usage   : $seqio->sequence_factory($seqfactory)
 Function: Get the Bio::Factory::SequenceFactoryI
 Returns : Bio::Factory::SequenceFactoryI
 Args    : none
object_factorycodeprevnextTop
 Title   : object_factory
 Usage   : $obj->object_factory($newval)
 Function: This is an alias to sequence_factory with a more generic name.
 Example : 
 Returns : a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI compliant object
Args : on set, new value (a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI
compliant object or undef, optional)
closecodeprevnextTop
 Title   : close
 Usage   :
 Function: Closes the stream. We override this here in order to cascade
           to the source stream.
 Example :
 Returns : 
 Args    : none
process_seqcodeprevnextTop
 Title   : process_seq
 Usage   :
 Function: This is the method that is supposed to do the actual
           processing. It needs to be overridden to do what you want
           it to do.

           Generally, you do not have to override or implement any other
           method to derive your own sequence processor.

           The implementation provided here just returns the unaltered
           input sequence and hence is not very useful other than
           serving as a neutral default processor.

 Example :
 Returns : An array of zero or more Bio::PrimarySeqI (or derived
           interface) compliant object as the result of processing the
           input sequence.
 Args    : A Bio::PrimarySeqI (or derived interface) compliant object
           to be processed.
