BED columns specify needed row order, and BedDatatype class is apparently made for BED format files only. With forced label dtype, I currently have problems reading strand from column 6 - it gets converted to float with default setting (dtype = None) automatically.
I propose to remove dtype specification and oblige BED columns order use.
What about if we have an argument: format="bed3+labels"? Alternative possible values for format would be "bed6", "bed3", ... This would make the format more clear.
