			# write_once("Data Dihedrals By Type (class2_dih.py)") {
			# ...

			# To find 4-body "dihedral" interactions, we would use this subgraph:
			#
			# 1st bond connects atoms 0 and 1
			# --------- => 2nd bond connects atoms 1 and 2
			# 0 1 2 3 3rd bond connects atoms 2 and 3

			When searching for atoms with matching bond patterns GraphMatcher
			often returns redundant results. We must define a "canonical_order"
			function which sorts the atoms and bonds in a way which is consistent
			with the type of N-body interaction being considered.
			However, some dihedral_styles (such as dihedral_style class2)
			have no symmetry (at least not for arbitrary choices of parameters).
			These force-field styles, the different permulations of atom-order
			are not equivalent. So we do not want to rearrange the order of
			the atoms (and bonds) in the match, because the formula for the
			interaction between atoms 1,2,3,4 is not the same as the formula
			for the interaction between atoms 4,3,2,1.
			In this case, this function returns
			the original "match" argument unmodified.
