.Vb 10
\& Title   : delete_feature
\& Usage   : my $orphanlist=$self\->delete_feature($feature,$transcript,$gene);
\& Function: deletes the specified $feature from the given transcript, if $transcript is sent and exists and $feature is a feature of $transcript,
\&           or from $gene if the $feature is a feature of $gene, or from $self if $transcript and $gene are not sent.  Keeps track of the features
\&           of the $gene object that may be left as orphans and returns them as a listref.
\& Example : I want to delete transcript \*(Aqabc\*(Aq of gene \*(Aqdef\*(Aq, with three exons, leaving only transcript \*(Aqghi\*(Aq with two exons.
\&           This will leave exons 1 and 3 part of \*(Aqghi\*(Aq, but exon 2 will become an orphan.
\&           my $orphanlist=$seq\->delete_feature($transcript{\*(Aqabc\*(Aq},undef,$gene{\*(Aqdef\*(Aq});
\&           $orphanlist is a reference to a list containing $exon{\*(Aq2\*(Aq};
\& Returns : a listref of orphaned features after the deletion of $feature (optional)
\& Args    : $feature \- the feature to be deleted
\&           $transcript \- the transcript containing the $feature, so that a $feature can be removed from only one transcript when there are multiple
\&                         transcripts in a gene.
\&           $gene \- the gene containing the $transcript and/or the $feature
