CDK's approach to this should always be that of Lego(TM): Provide
building blocks and not monolithic solutions.

The SMILESParser should parse what is in the SMILES and not more.
If the chemoinformatician then desires to do more, he or she will apply
a BondOrderResolver or an AromaticityDetector or whatever.

To be explicit: We shall not try to deduce bond orders which are not
explicitly given from within SMILESParser, but CDK will need to provide
additional building blocks for this, so one can do it if one needs to.

This is a toolkit library and should be of greatest modularity possible.

Cheers,

Chris
