I noticed that charges were disappearing when extracting functional groups. A bit of digging made me realise that were are not correctly testing for it, the Vento-Foggia isomorphism check is not enough. This PR adds the copying of atomic charges and also a test subroutine for asserting that charges are not lost anymore.
@johnmay and @egonw what is the interplay of charge and formal charge? Setting the formal charge seems to also set the charge but not vice-versa. Is this observation/behaviour correct and should I therefore copy both as I am currently doing?
