Add equals() method:
Arg [1] : Bio::EnsEMBL::Exon exon Example : if ($exonA->equals($exonB)) { ... } Description : Compares two exons for equality. The test for eqality goes through the following list and terminates at the first true match: 1. If Bio::EnsEMBL::Feature::equals() returns false, then the exons are *not* equal. 2. If both exons have stable IDs: if these are the same, the exons are equal, otherwise not. 3. If the exons have the same start, end, strand, and phase, then they are equal, otherwise not. Return type : Boolean (0, 1) Exceptions : Thrown if a non-transcript is passed as the argument.
