// BUG FIX (this session): PolarSegment::getPos() (via AtomContainer<T>::
// calcPos()) is a MASS-weighted center of mass. Legacy's own equivalent
// (PolarSeg::CalcPos()) is a plain, UNWEIGHTED arithmetic mean of site
// positions instead -- confirmed by direct comparison of the two
// implementations. Since this position feeds directly into the
// minimum-image PBC wrap below (raw_offset = target - source's own
// representative position), even a small difference between the two
// definitions can flip which periodic image is chosen as the true
// minimum for a given pair -- a discrete, not continuous, effect,
// consistent with the scattered (not uniformly scaled) per-site
// mismatch pattern that motivated this fix, rather than a smooth
// site-by-site drift.
//
// Deliberately NOT fixed by changing calcPos() itself: that's a shared
// AtomContainer<T> method used well beyond this file (md2qmengine,
// segmentmapper), where a genuine physical mass-weighted center of mass
// may be exactly what's wanted. This local helper instead gives THIS
// file its own, legacy-matching definition, without touching shared
// code any other caller depends on.
