In one of my email exchanges with Jan Reichert something came up that we
need to be aware of.

The * is a valid atom name character in .pdb files. The PDB spec says that
it was/is used because the character encoding of the ' (prime) character
was not available on all platforms.

However, in RasMol syntax the * is a wild-card character.

That means that you cannot do a query that specifically selects atoms with
a * in their name.

Is this a useful query?

Do we need to add this to our list of syntax/parsing problems with the
RasMol atom expression language?
