As shown in the Model Panel, all models have a numerical ID number and 
submodel number 
(http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/modelpanel.html).  The 
first int in the tuple is the ID number and the second int is the 
submodel number.

As for enhancing the help documentation, since this method is a wrapped 
C++ method, it's dependent on improving our Python wrapper generator and 
that is currently a low priority item.
