Note: some procedures for selecting
a single individual require some pre-processing of the whole population
that takes place before any selection, and will be repeated identically
-for every individual. The encapsulation of an into an allows
-to call such technical processing only once through the use of method setup
-of class . This method does nothing by default, but is mandatory
+for every individual. The encapsulation of an eoSelectOne
+into an eoSelectMany allows to call such technical
+processing only once through a call to the setup method of class eoSelectOne.
+This method does nothing by default, but is implemented for instance in
+eoProportionalSelect (the roulette wheel-selection) to compute only once
