Don't recommend users engage in type piracy with `stringbyte`

jakobnissen opened this issue · 1 comments

So, some time ago I added the methods stringbyte(::Alphabet, ::UInt8) and stringbyte(::BioSymbol) for faster IO when dealing with symbols represented in text by ASCII characters.

The latter function is type piracy. For v3, I'd like to move the functionality of the latter method of stringbyte (perhaps with a less awful name) to BioSymbols.
