It will be useful to have GetIonicRad(int) in addition to GetCovalentRad(int) in OBElementTable

    Not that easy, it depends also on charge and coordination number, and, for transition metals, on spin, eventually.

    Nevertheless, for some elements (e.g., alkali metals and halogenes) this value is defined better. Table of ionic radii would be useful for visualization of structures containing ions (tr. metals are not ions in the most of cases)
