The formats *are* different, but that does not mean the readers must be too!

The MDL formats for reaction lists, etc, also used the V2000 reader.
No problem with that, but the formats are just different, though
interdependent.  That we do have different readers, is mostly
historical; sometimes it's just easier to write a reader from scratch,
or not to try to make a reader too flexible to support multiple thing,
which makes code complexer. That's mostly the reasons why we have
different readers for the MDL molfiles versions. Nothing more.
