Understood.

Some time ago I did some prototyping where I put all of the altLoc atoms
in the same model. One of the first things that I saw was that the
'autobond' code that builds connectivity just fell apart. Places where
there altLoc atoms just turned into a knot of spaghetti.

This is one of the things that made me think that it was necessary to
build separate models. But, the number of distinct models quickly gets too
large.
