Mixtures of transition metals are a little tricky, and the same disclaimer
applies to phenix.refine.  Cu and Fe may be different enough to permit
identification, but Cu and Zn are not even at atomic resolution.  Ideally
we would incorporate multi-wavelength analysis in the ion placement but
this is a long-term project.
