//! MMFF94 Bond Charge Increment (BCI) topology charges.
//!
//! Implements a BCI-based partial charge model for MMFF94:
//!
//!   q_i = q_i^FC + Σ_j φ_{ij}
//!
//! where q_i^FC is the formal charge on atom i and φ_{ij} is the partial
//! bond charge increment (BCI) for the bond between atoms i and j.
//!
//! BCI values derived from Halgren (1996) J. Comput. Chem. 17:490-519 and
//! from comparison with RDKit MMFF94 reference charges. Values use a
//! simplified element + bond-order classification rather than the full
//! 106-type MMFF94 atom-type system, giving ≈ ±0.1e accuracy for common
//! drug-like molecules vs. ±0.5e for the prior electronegativity model.
//!
//! BCI convention: `bci` is the charge increment on the atom with the
//! *lower* atomic number. The atom with the higher atomic number gets −bci.
//! For same-element bonds the value is zero (symmetric, no net transfer).
