/**
 * A GPTreeConstraints is a Clique which defines constraint information
 * common to many different GPTree trees, namely the tree type,
 * builder, and function set.  GPTreeConstraints have unique names
 * by which they are identified.
 *
 * <p>In adding new things to GPTreeConstraints, you should ask yourself
 * the following questions: first, is this something that takes up too
 * much memory to store in GPTrees themseves?  second, is this something
 * that needs to be accessed very rapidly, so cannot be implemented as
 * a method call in a GPTree?  third, can this be shared among different
 * GPTrees?
 *
