can samblaster tackle reads with UMI?

Yes and No. Yes in the sense that samblaster will treat SAM files containing UMIs like any other SAM file. No in the sense that samblaster does not restrict identification of duplicate pairs to reads from the same molecule. Handling UMIs has been a previous request that is on the top of my priority list to address. See issue #20.
