=head1 NAME

Bio::Location::WidestCoordPolicy - class implementing
Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicy as the widest possible and reasonable range

=head1 SYNOPSIS

See Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI

=head1 DESCRIPTION

CoordinatePolicyI implementing objects are used by Bio::LocationI
implementing objects to determine integer-valued coordinates when
asked for it.

This class will compute the coordinates such that always the widest possible
range is returned, but by using some common sense. This means that e.g.
locations like "E5..100" (start before position 5) will return 5 as start
(returned values have to be positive integers).

=head1 FEEDBACK

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists.  Your participation is much appreciated.

=head2 Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

I

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 start

  Title   : start
  Usage   : $start = $policy->start($location);
  Function: Get the integer-valued start coordinate of the given location as
            computed by this computation policy.
  Returns : A positive integer number.
  Args    : A Bio::LocationI implementing object.

=cut

sub start {
    my ($self,$loc) = @_;

    # For performance reasons we don't check that it's indeed a Bio::LocationI
    # object. Hopefully, Location-object programmers are smart enough.
    my $pos = $loc->min_start();
    # if min is not defined or equals 0 we resort to max
    $pos = $loc->max_start() if(! $pos);
    return $pos;
}

=head2 end

  Title   : end
  Usage   : $end = $policy->end($location);
  Function: Get the integer-valued end coordinate of the given location as
            computed by this computation policy.
  Returns : A positive integer number.
  Args    : A Bio::LocationI implementing object.

=cut

sub end {
    my ($self,$loc) = @_;

    # For performance reasons we don't check that it's indeed a Bio::LocationI
    # object. Hopefully, Location-object programmers are smart enough.

    # if max is not defined or equals 0 we resort to min
