## Detailed Description

### template<class EOT>
class eoGenOp< EOT >

The base class for General Operators Subclass this operator is you want to define an operator that falls outside of the eoMonOp, eoBinOp, eoQuadOp classification.

The argument the operator will receive is an eoPopulator, which is a wrapper around the original population, is an instantiation of the next population and has often a selection function embedded in it to select new individuals.

Note that the actual work is performed in the apply function. AND that the apply function is responsible for invalidating the object if necessary
