A class to calculate the root mean square deviatation between the 
  atomic coordinates of two conformer structure.Structure objects. The 
  inputs are expected to be conformers in the traditional sense.
  Working copies of the input structures are modified instead the 
  original. The superimpose transformation is applied to the entire 
  test_structure. The transformation matrix is saved as 
  superposition_matrix property if in_place is set to False.
  Renumbering is achieved by creating a list of SMARTS patterns, one for
  each molecule in the reference structure, evaluating the SMARTS pattern 
  with both the reference and test structures to get a standard order of 
  atom indexes, then passing that atom order to mm.mmct_ct_reorder.  
  Renumbering can be slow with protein-sized molecules so you may want to 
  disable that feature when working with large molecules.
