...to make it easy to get the transformed coordinates, and to get a 'transformation changed' trigger/reason into the atomic changes trigger.

Think this should be done after alpha2 release.

Need to think about how we intend "graphical copies" (ie instances) to be used for structures. Right now the sym command makes graphical copies of a structure. If I make trimer from a monomer using 3 graphical copies what does the transform of the Structure mean? I guess it would be the first copy. But if we go this route it probably rules out doing any computation using the atom coordinates of the other two copies (e.g. clashes). Probably that is ok, and we should limit "graphical copies" to viewing and not measuring operations.
