Maybe we should go back one step. The reason this is not implemented is 
because we thought it would be unnecessary. In addition, if you would do 
it per residue how would you categorize e.g. the dihedral terms with one 
atom in one residue and three atoms in another? Of course you can define 
something, but what does it mean?
