			This function can be used to convert a Cantera Gas object to a string representation like "CH4:1.0, O2:0.4" (etc.)

			This prints 16 digits of precision because I was dealing with very small radical concentrations, and one of the limitations of this method is lack of flexibility. So, adjust as needed, if you don't need precision then discard the 16f in there.

			It would be useful to create a set of functions that would turn a Cantera Gas object, which ultimately is simply a representation of a gas thermochemical state, into another representation that would be more useful (and easier to manipulate with Python).

			I will start with composition, which is the primary (and most complicated) feature of the gas. The goal is to convert a Cantera gas object to a Python dict type, with the keys being species names and the values being species mole fractions.

			Note that although total mole amounts are specified with the <code>set()</code> call, these amounts are normalized (because the <code>convert_gas_to_composition_dict()</code> method calls the <code>moleFraction()</code> method).

			(As actually implemented, these amounts are normalized by the total moles. The representation ultimately doesn't matter, because gas objects are only representations of thermochemical states, and not of actual material amounts of gas (that kind of representation requires a Cantera Reactor object).
