public class GapDistribution extends Unchangeable implements Distribution, Serializable
This distribution emits gap symbols.

It is a useful thing to have around for pair-wise alignment, as you can build a PairDistribution that emits gaps in one sequence and Symbols in the other. The GapDistriution will always emit with a probability of 1, as every symbol has a matches alphabet that contains the empty set. Or is this so?
