Yes, the bioentry_id is private.
What's the rationale for that? It's the primary key; why should it be
forbidden to view it, even for derived classes?
(For a Bioperl-db persistent object, the primary key is public and
always accessible as $pobj->primary_key(). It can even be changed by
the programmer, though of course you should know what you're doing
when you decide to do that.)
