=head1 NAME

Bio::EnsEMBL::CoordSystem

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $db = Bio::EnsEMBL::DBSQL::DBAdaptor->new(...);

  my $csa = $db->get_CoordSystemAdaptor();

  #
  # Get all coord systems in the database:
  #
  foreach my $cs ( @{ $csa->fetch_all() } ) {
    my $str = join ':', $cs->name(), $cs->version(), $cs->dbID();
    print "$str\n";
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a simple object which contains a few coordinate system attributes:
name, internal identifier, version.  A coordinate system is uniquely defined
by its name and version.  A version of a coordinate system applies to all
sequences within a coordinate system.  This should not be confused with
individual sequence versions.

Take for example the Human assembly.  The version 'NCBI33' applies to
to all chromosomes in the NCBI33 assembly (that is the entire 'chromosome'
coordinate system).  The 'clone' coordinate system in the same database would
have no version however.  Although the clone sequences have their own sequence
versions, there is no version which applies to the entire set of clones.

Coordinate system objects are immutable. Their name and version, and other
attributes may not be altered after they are created.

=head2 new

  Arg [..]   : List of named arguments:
               -NAME      - The name of the coordinate system
               -VERSION   - (optional) The version of the coordinate system.
                            Note that if the version passed in is undefined,
                            it will be set to the empty string in the
                            resulting CoordSystem object.
               -RANK      - The rank of the coordinate system. The highest
                            level coordinate system should have rank 1, the
                            second highest rank 2 and so on.  An example of
                            a high level coordinate system is 'chromosome' an
                            example of a lower level coordinate system is
                            'clone'.
               -TOP_LEVEL - (optional) Sets whether this is a top-level coord
                            system. Default = 0. This should only be set to
                            true if you are creating an artificial toplevel
                            coordsystem by the name of 'toplevel'
               -SEQUENCE_LEVEL - (optional) Sets whether this is a sequence
                            level coordinate system. Default = 0
               -DEFAULT   - (optional)
                            Whether this is the default version of the 
                            coordinate systems of this name. Default = 0
               -DBID      - (optional) The internal identifier of this
                             coordinate system
               -ADAPTOR   - (optional) The adaptor which provides database
                            interaction for this object
  Example    : $cs = Bio::EnsEMBL::CoordSystem->new(-NAME    => 'chromosome',
                                                    -VERSION => 'NCBI33',
                                                    -RANK    => 1,
                                                    -DBID    => 1,
                                                    -ADAPTOR => adaptor,
                                                    -DEFAULT => 1,
