#' @title Modifying nucleotides in a nucleotide sequence (or set of sequences) 
#' at specified locations
#' 
#' @description 
#' \code{\link{modifyNucleotides}} modifies a nucleotide in a sequence (or set 
#' of sequences) based on the type of modification provided. It checks for the 
#' identity of the base nucleotide to be 
#' 
#' @param x a \code{\link{ModString}} or \code{\link{ModStringSet}} object
#' @param at the location where the modification should be made.
#' 
#' The same input as in the original \code{\link[Biostrings]{replaceLetterAt}}
#' are expected:
#'
#' If x is a \code{\link{ModString}} object, then at is typically an integer
#' vector with no NAs but a logical vector or Rle object is valid too. Locations
#' can be repeated and in this case the last replacement to occur at a given
#' location prevails.
#'
#' If x is a rectangular \code{\link{ModStringSet}} object, then \code{at} must
#' be a matrix of logicals with the same dimensions as x. If the
#' \code{\link{ModStringSet}} is not rectangular, \code{at} must be a list of
#' logical vectors.
#' 
#' @param mod The modification short name or nomenclature
#' 
#' If \code{x} is a \code{\link{ModString}} object, then letter must be a 
#' \code{\link{ModString}} object or a character vector (with no \code{NA}) with
#' a total number of letters \code{(sum(nchar(letter)))} equal to the number of
#' locations specified in at.
#' 
#' If \code{x} is a rectangular \code{\link{ModStringSet}} object, then letter
#' must be a \code{\link{ModStringSet}} object, a list of character vectors or a
#' \code{\link[IRanges:AtomicList-class]{CharacterList}} of the same length as
#' x. In addition, the number of letters in each element of letter must match
#' the number of locations specified in the corresponding row of at
#' \code{(all(width(letter) == rowSums(at)))}.
#' 
#' @param nc.type the type of nomenclature to be used. Either "short" or "nc".
#' "Short" for m3C would be "m3C", "nc" for m3C would be "3C". (
#' \code{default = "short"})
#' @param stop.on.error For \code{combineIntoModstrings}: \code{TRUE}(default)
#' or \code{FALSE}: Should an error be raised upon encounter of incompatible 
#' positions?
#' @param verbose See \code{\link[Biostrings]{replaceLetterAt}}.
#' 
#' @return the input \code{\link{ModString}} or \code{\link{ModStringSet}}
#' object with the changes applied
