Interop: Gromacs ITP files
It might be nice to support writing out to ITP files, which could help against data explosion and the atom type compression problem.

Just wanted to comment here, support for writing out ITP files would be hugely helpful from the OpenFE standpoint. Without them it becomes quasi-impossible to do topology-based alchemical transformations in gromacs (which is unfortunately the only way we can properly do alchemistry at the moment).
