	<P><B>Description:</B>
	</P>
	<P>Define a computation that calculates the coordination number for each
	atom in a group.
	</P>
	<P>The coordination number is defined as the number of neighbor atoms
	within the specified cutoff distance from the central atom. Atoms not
	in the group are included in the coordination number of atoms in the
	group.
	</P>
	<P>The neighbor list needed to compute this quantity is constructed each
	time the calculation is performed (i.e. each time a snapshot of atoms
	is dumped). Thus it can be inefficient to compute/dump this quantity
	too frequently or to have multiple compute/dump commands, each of a
	<I>coord/atom</I> style.
