/**
 * ReproductionPipeline is a BreedingPipeline which simply makes a copy
 * of the individuals it recieves from its source.  If the source is another
 * BreedingPipeline, the individuals have already been cloned, so ReproductionPipeline
 * won't clone them again...unless you force it to do so by turning on the <tt>must-clone</tt>
 * parameter.
 *
 <p><b>Typical Number of Individuals Produced Per <tt>produce(...)</tt> call</b><br>
 ...as many as the child produces

 <p><b>Number of Sources</b><br>
 1

 <p><b>Parameters</b><br>
 <table>
 <tr><td valign=top><i>base.</i><tt>must-clone</tt><br>
 <font size=-1>bool =  <tt>true</tt> or <tt>false</tt> (default)</font></td>
 <td valign=top>(do we <i>always</i> clone our individuals, or only clone if the individual hasn't already been cloned by our source?  Typically you want <tt>false</tt>)</td></tr>
