[CP2K-user] [CP2K:20134] Overlap matrix format query

I assume this means electron counting is needed to try to guess which 
orbital is which then.
Addendum:
What are the units associated to the overlap matrix elements? Is it 
possible to extract a normalized overlap? Trying to compare extents of 
atomic orbital overlaps for s-s and p-p. I expect the overlap of an orbital 
with itself to equal 1 and I cannot find a way to compare between different 
orbital overlaps currently.
