Synopsis
    # get a Bio::Map::MappableI somehow
my $position = $element->map_position();
# these methods will be important for building sorted lists
if( $position->equals($p2) ) {
# do something
} elsif( $position->less_tha($p2) ) {}
elsif( $position->greater_than($p2) ) { }
Description
This object handles the generic notion of an element placed on a
(linear) Map. Elements can have multiple positions in a map such as
is the case of Restriction enzyme cut sites on a sequence map. For
exact information about an element's position in a map one must query
the associate PositionI object which is accessible through the
position() method.
