Great idea, should be no problem to incorporate this notation into goslin. Any suggestion in which grammar to put? I would not want to create a complete new grammar for these lipid names? |

The omega notation for FA double bond positions counting from the methyl end of the FA is predominantly used in biology and microbial FA composition reporting.
Example of nomenclature:
Many of these nomenclature examples result from FA FAME GC-MS analysis performed by DSMZ. Unfortunately, these names are not easily found in either LIPID MAPS, nor SwissLipids, even though their naming is not too far off what we already support.
According to the LipidWeb reference, the older omega nomenclature should be replaced with the n nomenclature:
https://www.lipidmaps.org/resources/lipid_web?page=lipids/fa-eic.html
We should try to provide normalization of both variants to the latest shorthand nomenclature.
