Synopsis
 Do not use this module directly.  Use it via the Bio::AlignIO class.

 use Bio::AlignIO;

 my $alignio = Bio::AlignIO->new(-fh => \*STDIN, -format => 'maf');

 while(my $aln = $alignio->next_aln()){
   my $match_line = $aln->match_line;

   print $aln, "\n";

   print $aln->length, "\n";
   print $aln->no_residues, "\n";
   print $aln->is_flush, "\n";
   print $aln->no_sequences, "\n";

   $aln->splice_by_seq_pos(1);

   print $aln->consensus_string(60), "\n";
   print $aln->get_seq_by_pos(1)->seq, "\n";
   print $aln->match_line(), "\n";

Description
This class constructs Bio::SimpleAlign objects from an MAF-format
multiple alignment file.
Writing in MAF format is currently unimplemented.
Spec of MAF format is here:

 Title   : next_aln
 Usage   : $aln = $stream->next_aln()
 Function: returns the next alignment in the stream.
           Throws an exception if trying to read in PHYLIP
           sequential format.
 Returns : Bio::SimpleAlign object
