Description

I think the intention here is to direct a user to use the base `translate` methods rather than the format-specific ones, and use the `fmt` arg to get what they want. However, the benefit of going directly to the specific methods is that it does afford a bit more type checking rather than dumping everything as **kwargs. In practice, we definitely make use of those private methods directly (eg in the VCF annotator), so it might be time to just make them publicly.
