Changeset 1241 for cpp/frams/genetics/genooperators.h

Message:

No longer sort modifiers and cancel out antagonistic modifiers in f1 and f4; simplifying modifier sequences is now much less intrusive to allow for 2^{N distinct values of properties instead of only 2*N that resulted from earlier forced ordering (N is the number of same-letter upper- and lower-case characters in a modifier sequence)}

Assume that an even-index char and the following odd-index char have the opposite influence, so they cancel out. We don't use this function, because a fixed order imposed by this function means that the number of different parameter values produced by a sequence of modifiers is lowered (N same-letter upper- and lower-case chars yield only 2*N different values). Due to how modifiers work, the effect of aaA, aAa, Aaa etc. is different (N same-letter upper- and lower-case chars yield 2^N different values), so simplifying modifiers should not impose any order and should not interfere with their original order - see \a simplifiedModifiers().
