APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

  _generic_seqfeature
 Title   : _generic_seqfeature
 Usage   : $fthelper->_generic_seqfeature($annseq, "GenBank")
 Function: processes fthelper into a generic seqfeature
 Returns : TRUE on success and otherwise FALSE
 Args    : Bio::Seq, string indicating the source (GenBank/EMBL/SwissProt)

  _parse_loc
 Title   : _parse_loc
 Usage   : $fthelper->_parse_loc( $loc_string)
 Function: Parses the given location string and returns a location object
           with start() and end() and strand() set appropriately.
           Note that this method is private.
 Returns : location object or 0 on fail
 Args    : location string

  from_SeqFeature
 Title   : from_SeqFeature
 Usage   : @fthelperlist = Bio::SeqIO::FTHelper::from_SeqFeature($sf,
                                                     $context_annseq);
 Function: constructor of fthelpers from SeqFeatures
         :
         : The additional annseq argument is to allow the building of FTHelper
         : lines relevant to particular sequences (ie, when features are spread over
