=head2 Mutation methods

Mutation methods are all named C<mutate_*>.  In general, the
first argument will be the number of mutations required, followed
by the positions in the genes which should be affected, followed
by the lengths of sequences within the gene which should be affected.
If positions are not defined, then random ones are chosen.  If
lengths are not defined, a length of 1 is assumed (ie. working on
single tokens only), if a length of 0 is requested, then a random
length is chosen.

Also, if a mutation is suggested but would result in an invalid
sequence, then the mutation will not be carried out.
If a mutation is attempted which could corrupt your gene (copying

If a mutation is attempted which could corrupt your gene (copying
from a region beyond the end of the gene for instance) then it
will be silently skipped.  Mutation methods all return the number
