Well unfortunately inchi states they're a 'unique identifier' which 
means there must be 1 inchi for 1 molecule and it *should* work 
perfectly. And then they say the only required 'layer' is the formula 
which means a) it's not unique and b) how is "InChi=formula" better than 
just "formula"? D'uh.
