=head1 NAME
Bio::EnsEMBL::RepeatFeature - A feature representing a repeat on a piece of
sequence.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
my $rf = new Bio::EnsEMBL::Feature(
-start => 100,
-end => 220,
-strand => -1,
-slice => $slice,
-analysis => $analysis,
-repeat_consensus => $rc,
-hstart => 10,
-hend => 100,
-hstrand => 1,
-score => 83.2
);
my $hstart = $feat->hstart;
my $hend = $feat->hend;
# move the feature to the chromosomal coordinate system
$feature = $feature->transform('chromosome');
# move the feature to a different slice
# (possibly on another coord system)
$feature = $feature->transfer($new_slice);
# project the feature onto another coordinate system possibly across
# boundaries:
@projection = @{ $feature->project('contig') };
# change the start, end, and strand of the feature in place
$feature->move( $new_start, $new_end, $new_strand );
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This a feature representing a repeat region on a sequence

=head2 new_fast
Arg [1] : hash reference $hashref
Example : none
Description: This is an ultra fast constructor which requires knowledge of
the objects internals to be used. It is only used by
RepeatFeatureAdaptors (when thousands of repeats need to be
quickly created). The constructor 'new' should be used in
most instances.
Returntype : Bio::EnsEMBL::RepeatFeature
Exceptions : none
Caller : RepeatFeatureAdaptors
=cut
sub new_fast {
my ($class, $hashref) = @_;
return bless $hashref, $class;

=head2 new
Arg [REPEAT_CONSENSUS] : Bio::EnsEMBL::RepeatConsensus (optional)
The repeat consensus for this repeat feature
Arg [HSTART] : int (optional)
The hit start on the consensus sequence
Arg [HEND] : int (optional)
The hit end on the consensus sequence
Arg [SCORE] : float (optional)
The score
Arg [...] : Named arguments to superclass constructor
(see Bio::EnsEMBL::Feaure)
Example : $rf = Bio::EnsEMBL::RepeatFeature->new(-REPEAT_CONSENSUS => $rc,
-HSTART => 10,
-HEND => 100,
-SCORE => 58.0,
-START => 1_000_100,
-END => 1_000_190,
