Good idea.

Planned -- but this is nontrivial.

Hmm.  Some heteroatoms you definitely want, like S-met and modified bases.
Others like water aren't quite so useful.  

What we may need in PyMOL is a set of categories/selection keywords such as
the following:

"polymers": all natural bases/amino acids and any hetatms connected through
main chain chemistry

"waters": all recognized waters (HOH, WAT, TIP, etc.)

"ions": isolated atomic cations, anions, metals, etc. 

"ligands": anything not contains in the above

By default, polymers and ligands make sense in the sequence view and waters
can probably be omitted.  Ions we should also probably keep in by default
since they often play important roles in coordinating ligands.  

Does this sound like a useful addition?

Cheers,
Warren
