Feature Request: Name-based read fetching for FASTQ

[samarendra-pani]

Hello pysam developers,

I want to request the implementation of FASTQ indexing and fetching of reads based on their names. I noticed that htslib already has the libraries for this (as specified in https://github.com/samtools/htslib/blob/develop/htslib/faidx.h), but pysam lacks the bindings for those libraries.

I want to avoid conversion of FASTQ to FASTA, especially for large files. Is it possible to include this indexing and fetching through pysam?

Thank you,
Samarendra
