 * @class Rule
 * @sbmlbrief{core} Parent class for SBML <em>rules</em> in libSBML.
 *
 * In SBML, @em rules provide additional ways to define the values of
 * variables in a model, their relationships, and the dynamical behaviors
 * of those variables.  They enable encoding relationships that cannot be
 * expressed using Reaction nor InitialAssignment objects alone.
 *
 * The libSBML implementation of rules mirrors the SBML Level&nbsp;3
 * Version&nbsp;1 Core definition (which is in turn is very similar to the
 * Level&nbsp;2 Version&nbsp;4 definition), with Rule being the parent
 * class of three subclasses as explained below.  The Rule class itself
 * cannot be instantiated by user programs and has no constructor; only the
 * subclasses AssignmentRule, AlgebraicRule and RateRule can be
 * instantiated directly.
 *
 * @copydetails doc_rules_general_summary

 * <!-- ------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
 * @class ListOfRules
 * @sbmlbrief{core} A list of Rule objects.

/**
 * <!-- ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Start of common documentation strings ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
 * The following text is used as common documentation blocks copied multiple
 * times elsewhere in this file.  The use of @class is a hack needed because
 * Doxygen's @copydetails command has limited functionality.  Symbols
 * beginning with "doc_" are marked as ignored in our Doxygen configuration.
 * ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  -->
 *
 * @class doc_rule_level_1
 *
 * @par
 * In SBML Level&nbsp;1, the different rule types each have a different
 * name for the attribute holding the reference to the object constituting
 * the left-hand side of the rule.  (E.g., for SBML Level&nbsp;1's
 * SpeciesConcentrationRule the attribute is "species", for
 * CompartmentVolumeRule it is "compartment", etc.)  In SBML Levels&nbsp;2
 * and&nbsp;3, the only two types of Rule objects with a left-hand side
 * object reference are AssignmentRule and RateRule, and both of them use the
 * same name for attribute: "variable".  In order to make it easier for
 * application developers to work with all Levels of SBML, libSBML uses a
 * uniform name for all such attributes, and it is "variable", regardless of
 * whether Level&nbsp;1 rules or Level&nbsp;2&ndash;3 rules are being used.
 * 
 * @class doc_rule_units
 *
 * @par
 * The units are calculated based on the mathematical expression in the
 * Rule and the model quantities referenced by <code>&lt;ci&gt;</code>
 * elements used within that expression.  The method
 * Rule::getDerivedUnitDefinition() returns the calculated units, to the
 * extent that libSBML can compute them.
 * 
 * @class doc_warning_rule_math_literals
 * 
 * @warning <span class="warning">Note that it is possible the "math"
 * expression in the Rule contains pure numbers or parameters with undeclared
 * units.  In those cases, it is not possible to calculate the units of the
 * overall expression without making assumptions.  LibSBML does not make
 * assumptions about the units, and Rule::getDerivedUnitDefinition() only
 * returns the units as far as it is able to determine them.  For example, in
 * an expression <em>X + Y</em>, if <em>X</em> has unambiguously-defined
 * units and <em>Y</em> does not, it will return the units of <em>X</em>.
 * <strong>It is important that callers also invoke the method</strong>
 * Rule::containsUndeclaredUnits() <strong>to determine whether this
 * situation holds</strong>.  Callers may wish to take suitable actions in
 * those scenarios.</span>
