a collection of monkeypatch methods that helps handle better the ET.Element instances from Uniprot XML files
__description__ = """
This is a collection of methods that helps handle better the ET.Element instances from Uniprot XML files.
They are monkeypatched to the class object itself.
The Element can be monkeypached by importing xmlschema, as opposed to using the __builtin__ workaround.
Basically, I am piggybacking my monkeypatch on it, meaning that I don't need to copypaste from SO.
* `ET.Element.ns_strip()` #returns the tag with the {namespace}
* `ET.Element.is_tag(value)` # boolean fx to check if tag == value
* `ET.Element.describe()` # prints the content of the elemtn for debugging, similarly to dump but better.
* `ET.Element.is_human()` # boolean fx to check if human or dancer
