/**
 * MuPlusLambdaBreeder is a subclass of MuCommaLambdaBreeder which, together with
 * ESSelection, implements the (mu + lambda) breeding strategy and gathers
 * the comparison data you can use to implement a 1/5-rule mutation mechanism.
 * Note that MuPlusLambdaBreeder increases subpopulation sizes by their mu
 * values in the second generation and keep them at that size thereafter.
 * See MuCommaLambdaBreeder for information about how to set mu and lambda.
