    Return a list of all stable isotopes of an element, or if no input is
    provided, a list of all such isotopes for every element.

    Parameters
    ----------
    argument: `int` or `str`
        A string or integer representing an atomic number or element,
        or a string representing an isotope.

    unstable: `bool`
        If set to `True`, this function will return a list of the

    Returns
    -------
    StableIsotopes: `list` of strings or empty list
        List of all stable isotopes of an element, sorted from lowest
        mass number.  If an element has no stable isotopes, this
        function returns an empty list.

    Raises
    ------

    `TypeError`

    Notes
    -----
    There are 254 isotopes for which no radioactive decay has been
    observed.  It is possible that some isotopes will be discovered to
    be unstable but with extremely long half-lives.  For example,
    bismuth-209 was recently discovered to have a half-life of about
    1.9e19 years.  However, such isotopes can be regarded as virtually
    stable for most applications.

    Parse information about a particle into a dictionary of standard

    Parameters
    ----------
    argument : `str` or `int`
        String containing information for an element, isotope, or ion
        in any of the allowed formats; or an integer representing an
        atomic number.

    mass_numb : `int`, optional
        The mass number of an isotope.

    -------
    nomenclature_dict : `dict`
        A dictionary containing information about the element, isotope,

        symbol, ``'ion'`` corresponds to the ion symbol, ``'mass_numb'``
        corresponds to the mass number, and ``'Z'`` corresponds to the
        charge number.  The corresponding items will be given by `None`
