I certainly see your point. Once defaults are in, though, that's pretty much
a done deal.

The idea in this case was that this is the only mechanism for changing the
radii of specific bonds that already exist. So it is conservative -- with
modify as the default you can always undo it; with create as a default,
that's trickier.

So noted. Atom expressions can be incredibly complex. I don't know how much
could be added to the documentation in that regard. Maybe you can suggest
some very specific (few) examples.

Better to get Angel's book! :)
