  Arg [1]    : none
  Example    : print $rf->display_id();
  Description: This method returns a string that is considered to be
               the 'display' identifier.  For simple features this is the 
               display_label if it is available otherwise it is an empty 
               string.

  Arg [1]    : (optional) string $value
  Example    : $label = $simple_feature->display_label();
  Description: Getter/Setter for the display label associated with this
               feature.

  Arg [DISPLAY_LABEL]: The label assigned to this simple feature
  Arg [...]  : Named arguments passed to superclass
  Example    : $feature = Bio::EnsEMBL::SimpleFeature->new
                        (-start    => 1,
                         -end      => 100,

                         -score => 100);
  Description: Constructs a new Bio::EnsEMBL::Feature.  Generally subclasses
               of this method are instantiated, rather than this class itself.
  Returntype : Bio::EnsEMBL::Feature
  Exceptions : Thrown on invalid -SLICE, -ANALYSIS, -STRAND arguments
  Caller     : general, subclass constructors
  Status     : Stable

  Arg [1]    : hashref to be blessed
  Description: Construct a new Bio::EnsEMBL::Feature using the hashref.
  Exceptions : none

  Caller     : general, subclass constructors
  Status     : Stable

  Arg [1]    : (optional) string $value
  Example    : $score = $simple_feature->score();
  Description: Getter/Setter for the score associated with this
               feature.
