Should GA4GHRead.alignedBases be included?

[cassiedoll]

The original goal of GA4GHRead.alignedBases was to reduce the need for users to parse the cigar field. When using the current implementation of Google's API, I haven't found this to be particularly useful.

We might consider an alternative representation of the cigar that requires less regex usage while still being compact.

(maybe a more formal structure, like [{type: deletion, count: 10}, {type: match, count: 30}]? or anything else that might help with parsing and be easy for api providers to support)

I agree that it will not be of much use if we "fix" CIGAR represenations. We should put a separate issue for that though, and not mix in these two commits.

Addressed by @fnothaft in #30 -- we can discuss details there. Closing.
