// Removal order

// This is the order in which to remove overlapping pairs if more than one
// type of molecule is present.  The most valuable molecule type is at the
// right hand end, the molecule that will be removed 1st is 1st on the list.
// Not all types need to be present, a molecule that is not present is
// automatically less valuable than any on the list.  For molecules of the
// same type there is no control over which is removed.

// Pair potentials

// If there are r different type of molecules, and a pair force is required
// between all combinations, then there are C = r(r+1)/2 combinations,
// i.e. for r = {1,2,3,4}, C = {1,3,6,10} (sum of triangular numbers).

// Pair potentials are specified by the combinaition of their ids,
// for MOLA and MOLB, "MOLA-MOLB" OR "MOLB-MOLA" is acceptable
// (strictly OR, both or neither is an error)
