Item _space_group.name_Schoenflies

Description

              The Schoenflies symbol as listed in International Tables for
               Crystallography Vol. A denoting the proper affine class (i.e.
               orientation preserving affine class) of space groups (space
               group type) to which the space group belongs.  This symbol
               defines the space group type independently of the coordinate
               system in which the space group is expressed.

               The symbol is given with a period, '.', separating the 
               Schoenflies point group and the superscript.
