Right now, the energy inner loops operate on the level of neighbor lists.
My understanding (and others would have to comment, I could be wrong!), one
can customize exactly which neighbor lists are passed to the energy
functions, thus reducing the computational overhead.  This would require
some extra work, but not that much.
