Synopsis
  # Get Bio::PopGen::PopulationI object somehow, like
  # from Bio::Population::Population

  print "name is ", $population->name(), "\n";
  print "source is ", $population->source(), "\n";
  print "description is ", $population->description(), "\n";

  print "For marker $markername:\n";
  foreach my $genotype ( $population->get_Genotypes(-marker => $markername) ) {
      print "Individual ", $genotype->individual_id, " genotype alleles are ",
      join(',', $genotype->get_Alleles()), "\n";
  }
  # get a marker with allele frequencies calculated from the population
  my $marker = $population->get_Marker($markername); 
  my %af = $marker->get_Allele_Frequencies;
  foreach my $allele ( keys %af ) {
      print "$allele $af{$allele}\n";

Description
This interface describes the basics of a population. One can use this
object to get the genotypes of specific individuals, only those
individuals which have a certain marker, or create a marker with
allele frequency information.

 Title   : number_individuals
 Usage   : my $count = $pop->number_individuals;
 Function: Get the count of the number of individuals
 Returns : integer >= 0
 Args    : [optional] marker name, will return a count of the number
