The loud silence of discussion re connect suggests that I can go ahead and implement my option -- which defaults to the same as current behavior for

select (atom set)
connect <max distance> (target atom set)

but doesn't depend upon bondmode for any changing of order, because order is determined at the time of connection, not later.

Syntax will be:

select (atom set)
connect <min distance> <max distance> <bond type> (target atom set)

with

-distances in Angstroms
-bond types SINGLE DOUBLE TRIPLE AROMATIC HBOND DELETE

-all parameters except target atom set optional
-no distance parameter defaults to any distance
-single distance defaults to max distance
-default bond type SINGLE

-no dependence on bondmode setting
-no dependence on previous bonding between atoms
-bonds never made between atoms of two different models

I thought about adding "+" or some "INCREMENT" but for the life of me I can't imagine why you would want to do that --- increment a bond order without already knowing what it is. We can talk about that later.

The current-but-soon-to-be-history mode of

connect DOUBLE

which DOES depend upon BONDMODE will continue in the form of

bondorder 2

for those who like that idea.
