Good point.  However, this particular CCTBX routine is only used when
merging non-unique data, which would not be the typical input here (at
least in the official release).

It does.  But I may change this, if I can be certain it won't screw
things up for the small molecule folks.  I'm just not sure why it was
written that way in the first place...
