Remarks
Leadering and stacking rules are used to manage which force element graphics should or should not be graphically grouped. All of the various leadering and stacking rules are considered types of auto-group rules, thus they all implement this interface. They are considered "automatic" because MOLE force element display lists automatically apply them as the contents of those lists change.
