No it doesn't, it was a leftover from a failed experiment

Does that really look better? You can have bold endashes, but
you will not get a bold minus.

I had seen that, but not yet bothered to fix it. Still, it is
fairly easy to change the macro, try the version below.
It only moves a lone subscript because i like ions better
if the count and charge are aligned, and I also added an italic
correction. It is possible to get everything looking perfect
(of course), but that would require spending much more time
fine-tuning super- and sub scripts.
Positive ions look absolutely awful in latin modern btw. The
plus from CM is dead-ugly when used in this fashion.
