The Alphabet class that was added in 6ce4ef7 (resolved #410) allows alphabets to reverse complement a string. If you can reverse complement a string, than you can give a string a canonical representation (the canonical representation is the lexicographically "earlier" string out of the original string and it's reverse complement). This is useful for various assembly/reference-free algorithms.

@heuermh and I think we will need to drop Alphabet in favor of a future bdg-formats release.
