/** FragmentNode contains all information important to homology considerations
 * between fragments.
 *
 * This is important to answer whether to fragments have the same structure or
 * not. Basically, the node simply represents an atom but without any index to
 * make it indistinguishable from another atom having same number of bonds and
 * same atomic number.
 *
 * Namely, we need:
 * -# charge/atomic number of the node
 * -# number of edges connected to this node
 *
 * Central is have this class be sortable by having comparison operators defined.
