Paolo was very careful to implement MMFF94 as it was originally defined and
published. I believe that this is a good thing.
Any changes that affect the default behavior of the force field would mean
that it's no longer the same thing at all. MMFF94-like is a different beast
entirely.

I believe that what you're asking for would mean doing exactly this.
