Possible enhancement: Could this support FASTA input? #19

The tool is clearly designed for FASTQ input, but could it be modified to accept FASTA format as well?

Obviously the --minqual option could not be used with FASTA input.

Thank you for your suggestion!

Since FASTA format files may contain many kinds of IUPAC codes, it might require a significant amount of code refactoring,
therefore I currently do not have plans to modify it to support input in FASTA format. Thank you!
