_space_group.name_Schoenflies

Definition:

   The Schoenflies symbol as listed in International Tables for
   Crystallography Volume 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.
