#2135 closed enhancement (done)

Add possibility to restrict PercentValues to [0,1]

Description

It is rather common to have a percent value, which must be in the interval [0,1] (e.g., rel. number of samples, mutation rate, ...). Therefore, it should be possible to restrict the PercentValue to lie in the specified interval.

Reuse the setter for Value in the constructor to remove duplicate code.
Change error message to: "The provided value must lie in the interval [0,1]".
I think the changes are Ok. It is not necessary to create a specialized class for this functionality.

The setter for Value was not reused on purpose, because reusing it would mean to add a virtual member call in the ctor of PercentValue, which could lead to problems in potential subclasses.

Maybe we could seal this class. In any case please change the error messages for the ArgumentException. I suggest to use "Value must lie in the interval [0,1]." in all exceptions.
