SAM file optional field B support #17

Closed iosonofabio closed 7 years ago

iosonofabio commented 7 years ago

The SAM file specification includes an optional field B that we currently do not support:

https://samtools.github.io/hts-specs/SAMv1.pdf, page 6.

This PR adds a first, tentative support for that case.

NOTE: this should really be profiled to make sure we are not slowing down too much in that case.
