Somewhat related, and possibly solving problems likes this but only in
part, would be a feature I always wanted to have for higher flexibility
in defining masks. What I miss is higher level descriptions of e.g.
"proteins" or "nucleotides" or "lipids" or "backbone", etc. Could
probably be simply implemented through additional sections in the
prmtop file.

This reminds me, what ever happened to the proposal some years back to
retain certain information from the PDB like chain IDs and original
residue numbers in the prmtop? Also, what is the "set ... restype" in
leap used for?

Cheers,
Hannes.
