/**
 * Parity implements the family of <i>n</i>-[even|odd]-Parity problems up 
 * to 32-parity.  Read the README file in this package for information on
 * how to set up the parameter files to your liking -- it's a big family.
 *
 * <p>The Parity family evolves a boolean function on <i>n</i> sets of bits,
 * which returns true if the number of 1's is even (for even-parity) or odd
 * (for odd-parity), false otherwise. 
 *
