=head1 NAME
Bio::RangeI - Range interface
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#Do not run this module directly
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This provides a standard BioPerl range interface that should be
implemented by any object that wants to be treated as a range. This
serves purely as an abstract base class for implementers and can not
be instantiated.
Ranges are modeled as having (start, end, length, strand). They use
Bio-coordinates - all points E= start and E= end are within the
range. End is always greater-than or equal-to start, and length is
greather than or equal to 1. The behaviour of a range is undefined if
ranges with negative numbers or zero are used.
So, in summary:
length = end - start + 1
end >= start
strand = (-1 | 0 | +1)

=head1 Abstract methods
These methods must be implemented in all subclasses.

Args : optionaly allows the strand to be set
using $range->strand($strand)
=cut
sub strand {

These methods return true or false. They throw an error if start and

These methods do things to the geometry of ranges, and return
Bio::RangeI compliant objects or triplets (start, stop, strand) from
which new ranges could be built.
