 * An MoleculeDescriptor describes a Set of Molecules from the World. Can be used for any method that needs to work on
 * a specific set of Molecules.

 * This Class is implemented using the PIMPL-Idion, i.e. this class only contains an abstract structure
 * that forwards any request to a wrapped pointer-to-implementation. This way operators and calculations
 * on Descriptors are possible.
 *
 * Concrete Implementation Objects can be shared between multiple Wrappers, so make sure that
 * any Implementation remainst constant during lifetime.
