primary_key

Title   : primary_key
Usage   : $obj->primary_key($newval)
Function: Get/set the primary key value.

          We override this here from PersistentObjectI in order to
          propagate the primary key to a possibly attached PrimarySeq
          object if PrimarySeqI is implemented by composition.

Example : 
Returns : value of primary_key (a scalar)
Args    : new value (a scalar, optional)
