        The factory function cogent.util.transform.for_seq is useful for

    A ModelSequence is an array of indices of symbols, where those symbols are

    counting symbol frequencies or tuple frequencies, remapping data (e.g. for
    reverse-complement), looking up model parameters, etc. Its main drawback is
    that the sequences can no longer be treated as strings, and conversion
    to/from strings can be fairly time-consuming. Also, any symbol not in the
    Alphabet cannot be represented at all.
    
    A sequence can have a Name, which will be used for output in formats
    such as FASTA.
    
    A sequence Class has an alphabet (which can be overridden in instances
    where necessary), a delimiter used for string conversions, a LineWrap
    for wrapping characters into lines for e.g. FASTA output.
    
    Note that a ModelSequence _must_ have an Alphabet, not a MolType,
    because it is often important to store just a subset of the possible

        cogent.util.miscs.DistanceFromMatrix(matrix).

        the two sequences themselves (i.e. the behavior will be the same for
        every position in the sequences, such as identity scoring or a function
        derived from a distance matrix as suggested above). One limitation of

        If you want functions that act on the two sequences themselves, there
        is no particular advantage in making these functions methods of the
        first sequences by passing them in as parameters like the function
        in this method. It makes more sense to use them as standalone functions.
        The factory function cogent.util.transform.for_seq is useful for
        converting per-element functions into per-sequence functions, since it
        takes as parameters a per-element scoring function, a score aggregation
        function, and a normalization function (which itself takes the two
