[FEATURE REQUEST] A shortcut for importing layer orders that doesn't go through anvi-import-misc-data

[ivagljiva]

A small project to improve anvi'o, based upon feedback/ideas @FlorianTrigodet and I heard from our colleagues at the QIB in Norwich.

The need

Currently, we import layer orders (such as newick trees or lists) by putting them into a table, which we then give to anvi-import-misc-data. It is a little bit silly, especially for newick tree inputs. It would be nice to have a shortcut so that you don't always have to copy-paste your newick string into a tab-delimited table.

The solution

We could add a program called anvi-import-layer-orders which accepts a newick file (or an input file with one layer name per line) that imports that info as a layer order without all the fuss.

Beneficiaries

People who like to be lazy (which is like everyone).
