 * Separation of functionality - don't make sequences load features, and don't make features load their sequence by default. This saves memory and allows work to be done independently on the specific parts of interest.
 * Always ALWAYS correctly implement equals, compareTo, hashCode, and Serializable wherever possible.

 * TestNG was suggested instead of JUnit, but knowledge of this tool is not so widespread and this may impact on quality of testing.
