Although diagonalsw is currently meant to be used for protein sequences, one could imagine other use cases for the Smith-Waterman algorithm.

It would be nice if diagonalsw would support other alphabets than the amino acid residues. The implementation should allow for alphabet sizes bigger than 256. For such big alphabets, multiple bytes would be needed for storing an alphabet token.

I don't know how important this feature request is ... (maybe not at all)
