Hidden Sequence Representatives and
+Multiple Views
+A word of warning: hidden representative sequence groups are
+(still) only partly implemented in the jalview 2.5 release, and we hope
+to deal with the following issues in the future.
+Currently, represented hidden groups are only made correctly if there is
+just one alignment view. When multiple views on an alignment exist, then
+the represented group will be displayed correctly in the view in which
+it was made, but in other views, both representative and hidden
+sequences will be visible, but will behave as if they are grouped.
+Hidden representatives are propagated correctly to a new view if they
+exist in the current view. However, if the represented sequences are
+revealed in any one view, then in all other views they will simply be
+marked as hidden, and their association with the representative sequence
+will be lost.
