/**

 * ForceBreedingPipeline has one source.  To fill its quo for produce(...),
 * ForceBreedingPipeline repeatedly forces its source to produce exactly numInds
 * individuals at a time, except possibly the last time, where the number of
 * individuals its source produces may be as low as 1.  This is useful for forcing
 * Crossover to produce only one individual, or mutation to produce 2 individuals
 * always, etc.
