OK, so I am reading Chapter 9 now to see the gory details. I didn't know
about the root-distance check, and so now

1-(bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-1-yl)-1-[1,5-dicyclopropyl-3(2-cyclo
propylethyl)-pentan-3-yl]methan-1-ol.mol

is working. So all of this is easy enough. That's probably it for
independent stereochemistry.  Where there is a dependency  of one
stereochemical determination from another -- R/S after E/Z; E/Z after R/S,
E/Z after E/Z, R/S after R/S -- obviously that takes some sort of more
general iteration.

I think I will have to tackle that another day.

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
