 * Retrieves the sequences for a given feature.

 *   An associative array describing the feature. Valid keys include:
 *    - feature_id: The feature_id of the feature for which the sequence will
 *      be retrieved.
 *    - name: The feature name. This will appear on the FASTA definition line.
 *    - parent_id:  (optional) only retrieve a sequence if 'derive_from_parent'
 *      is true and the parent matches this ID.
 *    - featureloc_id: (optional) only retrieve a sequence if 
 *      'derive_from_parent' is true and the alignment is defined with this 
 *      featureloc_id.
 * @param $options
 *   An associative array of options. Valid keys include:
 *    - width: Indicate the number of bases to use per line.  A new line will
 *      be added after the specified number of bases on each line.
 *    - is_html: Set to '1' if  the sequence is meant to be displayed on a web
 *      page. This will cause a <br> tag to separate lines of the FASTA sequence.
 *    - derive_from_parent: Set to '1' if the sequence should be obtained from
 *      the parent to which this feature is aligned.
 *    - aggregate: Set to '1' if the sequence should only contain sub features,
 *      excluding intro sub feature sequence.  For example, set this option to
 *      obtain just the coding sequence of an mRNA.
 *    - upstream: An integer specifing the number of upstream bases to include
 *      in the output.
 *    - downstream: An integer specifying the number of downstream bases to
 *      include in the output.
 *    - sub_feature_types: Only include sub features (or child features) of
 *      the types provided in the array.
 *    - relationship_type: If a relationship name is provided (e.g. sequence_of)
 *      then any sequences that are in relationships of this type with matched
 *      sequences are also included.
 *    - relationship_part: If a relationship is provided in the preceeding
 *      argument then the rel_part must be either 'object' or 'subject' to
 *      indicate which side of the relationship the matched features belong.
 *
 * @return
 *   an array of matching sequence in the following keys for each sequence:
 *    - types: an array of feature types that were used to derive
 *      the sequence (e.g. from an aggregated sequence)
 *    - upstream: the number of upstream bases included in the sequence
 *    - downstream: the number of downstream bases included in the
 *      sequence
 *    - defline: the definintion line used to create a FASTA sequence
 *    - residues: the residues
 *    - featureloc_id: the featureloc_id if the sequences is from an
 *        alignment

 *    - genus: The genus of the organism for which sequences should be retrieved
 *    - species: The species of the organism for which sequences should be
 *      retrieved
 *    - analysis_name: The name of an analysis to which sequences belong. Only
 *      those that are associated with the analysis will be retrieved.
 *    - type: The type of feature (a sequence ontology term).
 *    - feature_name: the name of the feature. Can be an array of feature names.
 *    - feature_uname: the uniquename of the feature.  Can be an array of
 *      feature unique names.
 *    - upstream: An integer specifing the number of upstream bases to include
 *      in the output
 *    - downstream: An integer specifying the number of downstream bases to
 *      include in the output.
 *    - derive_from_parent: Set to '1' if the sequence should be obtained from
 *      the parent to which this feature is aligned.
 *    - aggregate: Set to '1' if the sequence should only contain sub features,
 *      excluding intro sub feature sequence.  For example, set this option to
 *      obtain just the coding sequence of an mRNA.
 *    - sub_feature_types: Only include sub features (or child features) of
 *      the types provided in the array
 *    - relationship_type: If a relationship name is provided (e.g. sequence_of)
 *      then any sequences that are in relationships of this type with matched
 *      sequences are also included
 *    - relationship_part: If a relationship is provided in the preceeding
 *      argument then the rel_part must be either 'object' or 'subject' to
 *      indicate which side of the relationship the matched features belong
 *    - width: Indicate the number of bases to use per line.  A new line will
 *      be added after the specified number of bases on each line.
 *    - is_html: Set to '1' if  the sequence is meant to be displayed on a
 *      web page. This will cause a <br> tag to separate lines of the FASTA
 *      sequence.

 *      'downstream'    => the number of downstream bases in the sequence
