  //! ROMol is a molecule class that is intended to have a fixed topology
  /*!
    This is the primary class for most molecule operations.

    If you need to be manipulating the molecule (e.g. adding or deleting
    atoms or bonds, use an RWMol instead.

    <b>Notes:</b>
      - each ROMol maintains a Dict of \c properties:  
          - Each \c property is keyed by name and can store an
            arbitrary type.
          - \c Properties can be marked as \c calculated, in which case
            they will be cleared when the \c clearComputedProps() method
            is called.
          - Because they have no impact upon chemistry, all \c property
            operations are \c const, this allows extra flexibility for
            clients who need to store extra data on ROMol objects.

      - each ROMol has collections of \c bookmarks for Atoms and Bonds:
          - the Atom bookmarks and Bond bookmarks are stored separately
            from each other
          - each \c bookmark, an integer, can map to more than one
            Atom or Bond
          - these are currently used in molecule construction, but
            could also be useful for reaction mapping and the like

      - information about rings (SSSR and the like) is stored in the
        molecule's RingInfo pointer.
