It shouldn't be the case for the AP fingerprint. It *does*, however, look
like there will be a problem with the TT fingerprints if you provide your
own invariants (this is based on a skim of the code, so I'm not sure that's
correct).

 Thanks for that pointer. That is really helpful! If I manage to make the
time to do so, I will incorporate this into the next RDKit release.

I implemented a quick Typer based on this definition, taking into account

The quick read-through I did of the code makes me believe that it should be
fine. I will confirm over the next day or so and let you know.

Best,
