A generic class for series of coordinates might be better. An enum
with various types could be used (e.g. GeometryOptimization,
MolecularDynamics, MonteCarlo, Docking, ...). Using OBGenericData, per
frame data could be added. The current Data functions allow us to add
an arbitrary number of these objects to an OBMol.

There are specific file formats for some of these data types.
OBConversion::ReadMolecule accepts OBBase objects so we could read
this data and store it directly into the new data class.
