  # A convenience class for working with fasta formatted sequence databases.
  # the file which includes this class also includes Enumerable with
  # Bio::FlatFile so you can do things like this:
  #
  #     accessions = Mspire::Fasta.open("file.fasta") do |fasta| 
  #       fasta.map(&:accession)
  #     end
  # 
  # A few aliases are added to Bio::FastaFormat
  #
  #     entry.header == entry.definition
  #     entry.sequence == entry.seq
  #
  # Mspire::Fasta.new accepts both an IO object or a String (a fasta formatted
  # string itself)
  #
  #     # taking an io object:
  #     File.open("file.fasta") do |io| 
  #       fasta = Mspire::Fasta.new(io)
  #       ... do something with it
  #     end
  #     # taking a string
  #     string = ">id1 a simple header\nAAASDDEEEDDD\n>id2 header again\nPPPPPPWWWWWWTTTTYY\n"
  #     fasta = Mspire::Fasta.new(string)
  #     (simple, not_simple) = fasta.partition {|entry| entry.header =~ /simple/ }
