=head2 length

    my $len = $parser->length( $seq_id );

Returns the length of the sequence given by C<$seq_id>. May be marginally
faster than fetching the sequence object and then finding the length.

=head1 COMPRESSION

C<BioX::Seq::Fetch> supports files compressed with blocked gzip (BGZIP),
typically using the C<bgzip> utility. This allows for pseudo-random access
without the need for full file decompression. The C<Compress::BGZIP> module is
required for this functionality.
