"NMR" constraints can include distances, and are often used to enforce
hydrogen bonding.

You have to "register" new functions in symbol.c and nabcode.h. The reason is
that nab accpets both "C-like" and "Fortran-like" calling sequences, and the
compiler has to know which is which in order to generate the proper code.
There's no real documentation, but just follow the example of other functions.
