/**
 * MutateERCPipeline works very similarly to the "Gaussian" algorithm
 * described in Kumar Chellapilla,
 * "A Preliminary Investigation into Evolving Modular Programs without Subtree
 * Crossover", GP98.
 *
 * <p>MutateERCPipeline picks a random node from a random tree in the individual,
 * using its node selector.  It then proceeds to "mutate" every ERC (ephemeral
 * random constant) located in the subtree rooted at that node.  It does this
 * by calling each ERC's <tt>mutateERC()</tt> method.  The default form of <tt>mutateERC()</tt>
 * method is to simply call <tt>resetNode()</tt>, thus randomizing the ERC;
 * you may want to override this default to provide more useful mutations,
 * such as adding gaussian noise.
