#' Descriptor that Calculates the Weighted Path (Molecular ID)
#'
#' This descriptor calculates the weighted path (molecular ID)
#' described by Randic, characterizing molecular branching.
#' Five descriptors are calculated, based on the implementation in the ADAPT
#' software package. Note that the descriptor is based on identifying all paths
#' between pairs of atoms and so is NP-hard.
#' This means that it can take some time for large, complex molecules.
#'
#' @param molecules Parsed molucule object.
#' @param silent Logical. Whether the calculating process
#' should be shown or not, default is \code{TRUE}.
#'
#' @return A data frame, each row represents one of the molecules,
#' each column represents one feature.
#' This function returns 5 columns named
#' \code{WTPT.1}, \code{WTPT.2}, \code{WTPT.3}, \code{WTPT.4}, \code{WTPT.5}:
#' \itemize{
#' \item \code{WTPT.1} - molecular ID
#' \item \code{WTPT.2} - molecular ID / number of atoms
#' \item \code{WTPT.3} - sum of path lengths starting from heteroatoms
#' \item \code{WTPT.4} - sum of path lengths starting from oxygens
#' \item \code{WTPT.5} - sum of path lengths starting from nitrogens
