SYNOPSIS

  $obj = Bio::Biblio::MedlineArticle->new(-mesh_headings =>
                                            #array ref of hashes
                                         );

  # how are Mesh terms stored:
  use Data::Dumper;

  #It produces (something like) this:
  #'MeshHeadings' => [

  #         'subHeadings'    => [ { 'subHeading' => 'etiology' },
  #                               { 'majorTopic' => 'Y',
  #                                 'subHeading' => 'mortality' } ] },
  #       { 'descriptorName' => 'Child Development',
  #         'subHeadings'    => [ { 'majorTopic' => 'Y',
  #                                 'subHeading' => 'physiology' } ] },
