Definition

    	
   The SPACE_GROUP category introduced in the Symmetry Cif 
   Dictionary (cif_sym.dic 1.0) is intended to replace the original
   core SYMMETRY category. For modulated structures, superspace 
   group descriptions may be included in the same category, but 
   include the _ssg_ flag to indicate their dimensionality of > 3.
