/**
 * An ADFArgument is a GPNode which represents an ADF's 
 * <i>argument terminal</i>, its counterpart which returns argument
 * values in its associated function tree.  In lil-gp this is called an
 * ARG node.
 *
 * <p>Obviously, if you have Argument Terminals in a tree, that tree must
 * be only callable by ADFs and ADMs, otherwise the Argument Terminals
 * won't have anything to return.  Furthermore, you must make sure that
 * you don't have an Argument Terminal in a tree whose number is higher
 * than the smallest arity (number of arguments) of a calling ADF or ADM.
 *
