I'd have to hunt through the code more carefully, but in formats like Gaussian, 
we know that all atoms (including hydrogens) are explicit.

Unfortunately, that's not true from PDB — in the vast majority of cases, 
hydrogens are omitted and implicit.

So, for example in src/formats/pdbformat.cpp (master):
>     FOR_ATOMS_OF_MOL(matom, mol)
>       OBAtomAssignTypicalImplicitHydrogens(&*matom);

Now maybe it's useful to have a PDB read option that says "I know I have 
explicit hydrogens" ?
