This is an implementation of Bio::LocationI to manage exact location
information on a Sequence: '22' or '12..15' or '16^17'.
.PP
You can test the type of the location using \fBlength()\fR function () or
directly \fBlocation_type()\fR which can one of two values: '\s-1EXACT\s0' or
\&'\s-1IN\-BETWEEN\s0'.

\&           location. Typically, features on a sequence will sometimes
\&           have a remote location, which means that the location of
\&           the feature is on a different sequence than the one that is
\&           attached to the feature. In such a case, $loc\->seq_id will
