There are two kinds of finds:

A) {structure}.find("SMILES", smilesString)

B) smilesString1.find("SMILES", smilesString2)

for (A), all stereochemical notation is implemented -- allenyl, tetrahedral,
square planar, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral.

for (B), allenyl, tetrahedral, and square planar are fully implemented.
Trigonal bipyramidal requires that the two axial ligands be listed first and
last; in the case of octahedral, we require that the two designated "axial"
groups be listed first and last.

No reason for this other that I did not finish the job and have no access to
the unpublished supposed additional @OHn and @TBn designations. I think I
could easily enough implement octahedral checking as long as any two
diametrically opposed groups are given first and last.

Not 100% sure I can get Jmol to produce accurate SMILES for *any* octahedral
or trigonal bipyramidal compound.
