SMARTS matches each atom and bond term to an atom and bond. It does  
not support optional terms.

Sadly, no. I seem to recall other molecular structure query languages  
which are a bit more capable and which might support this, but my  
recollection is they are a lot more verbose, and I can't think of any  
references off-hand.
