\begin{Description}\relax
Initialize the information about name, mass and isotopes.
To reduce the number of decomposition hypotheses,
subsets of elements can be created.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
initializeCHNOPS()       
initializeCHNOPSMgKCaFe()
initializePSE()       
initializeElements(names)     
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{names}] vector of element names within PSE
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
These functions return full, pre-defined or user-defined (sub-) lists of elements.
\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
A list with the elements
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{formula}] repeated sum formula

\item[\code{mass}] exact mass of molecule

\item[\code{isotopes}] a list of isotopes 

\end{ldescription}


How to do error checking ?!
