Yes, the intent was to keep this class simple and allow
growing/resizing but not atom/bond deletion. The GUI version needs to
have signals and slots, unique IDs and all the extra book keeping that
goes along with it. We should make a more derived form to add signals
and slots on the molecule class, and other things required for
interactive editing.
