/** EO is a base class for evolvable objects, that is, the subjects of evolution.
EOs have only got a fitness, which at the same time needs to be only an object with the
operation less than (<) defined. Fitness says how good is the object; evolution or change
of these objects is left to the genetic operators. A fitness less than another means a
worse fitness, in whatever the context; thus, fitness is always maximized; although
it can be minimized with a proper definition of the < operator.\\
The fitness object must have, besides an void ctor, a copy ctor.
