 * @class RateRule
 * @sbmlbrief{core} An SBML <em>rate rule</em> representing <em>dx/dt = f(<b>Y</b>)</em>.
 *
 * The rule type RateRule is derived from the parent class Rule.  It is
 * used to express equations that determine the rates of change of
 * variables.  The left-hand side (the "variable" attribute) can refer to
 * the identifier of a species, compartment, or parameter (but not a
 * reaction).  The entity identified must have its "constant" attribute set
 * to @c false.  The effects of a RateRule are in general terms the same,
 * but differ in the precise details depending on which variable is being
 * set:
 * 
 * <ul> <li> <em>In the case of a species</em>, a RateRule sets the rate of
 * change of the species' quantity (<em>concentration</em> or <em>amount of
 * substance</em>) to the value determined by the formula in the "math"
 * subelement of the RateRule object.  The overall units of the formula in
 * "math" @em should (in SBML Level&nbsp;2 Version&nbsp;4 and in SBML Level&nbsp;3) or @em
 * must (in SBML releases prior to Level&nbsp;2 version&nbsp;4) be equal to
 * the unit of <em>species quantity</em> divided by the model-wide unit of
 * <em>time</em>.  <em>Restrictions</em>: There must not be both a RateRule
 * "variable" attribute and a SpeciesReference "species" attribute having
 * the same value, unless that species has its "boundaryCondition"
 * attribute is set to @c true.  This means a rate rule cannot be defined
 * for a species that is created or destroyed in a reaction, unless that
 * species is defined as a boundary condition in the model.
 *
 * <li> (For SBML Level&nbsp;3 only) <em>In the case of a species
 * reference</em>, a RateRule sets the rate of change of the stoichiometry
 * of the referenced reactant or product to the value determined by the
 * formula in "math".  The unit associated with the value produced by the
 * "math" formula should be consistent with the unit "dimensionless"
 * divided by the model-wide unit of <em>time</em>.
 *
 * <li> <em>In the case of a compartment</em>, a RateRule sets the rate of
 * change of the compartment's size to the value determined by the formula
 * in the "math" subelement of the RateRule object.  The overall units of
 * the formula @em should (in SBML Level&nbsp;2 Version&nbsp;4 and in SBML
 * Level&nbsp;3) or @em must (in SBML releases prior to Level&nbsp;2
 * version&nbsp;4) be the units of the compartment's <em>size</em> divided
 * by the model-wide unit of <em>time</em>.
 *
 * <li> <em>In the case of a parameter</em>, a RateRule sets the rate of
 * change of the parameter's value to that determined by the formula in the
 * "math" subelement of the RateRule object.  The overall units of the
 * formula @em should (in SBML Level&nbsp;2 Version&nbsp;4 and in SBML
 * Level&nbsp;3) or @em must (in SBML releases prior to Level&nbsp;2
 * version&nbsp;4) be the Parameter object's "unit" attribute value divided
 * by the model-wide unit of <em>time</em>.  
 *
 * <li> (For SBML Level&nbsp;3 Version&nbsp;2 only) <em>In the case of 
 * an object from an SBML Level&nbsp;3 package</em>, a RateRule sets the rate 
 * of change of the referenced object's value (as defined by that package) 
 * to the value of the formula in "math".  The unit of measurement associated 
 * with the value produced by the formula should be the same as that object's 
 * units attribute value (if it has such an attribute) divided by the 
 * model-wide unit of @em time, or be equal to the units of model components 
 * of that type (if objects of that class are defined by the package as having 
 * the same units) divided by the model-wide unit of @em time.
 * </ul>
 * 
 * In SBML Level&nbsp;2 and Level&nbsp;3 Version&nbsp;1, the "math" 
 * subelement of the RateRule is required.  In SBML Level&nbsp;3
 * Version&nbsp;2, this rule is relaxed, and the subelement is
 * optional.  If a RateRule with no "math" child is present in the model, 
 * the rate at which its referenced "variable" changes over time is 
 * undefined.  This may represent a situation where the model itself
 * is unfinished, or the missing information may be provided by an
 * SBML Level&nbsp;3 package.
 * 
 * If the variable attribute of a RateRule object references an object in 
 * an SBML namespace that is not understood by the interpreter reading a 
 * given SBML document (that is, if the object is defined by an SBML 
 * Level&nbsp;3 package that the software does not support), the rate rule 
 * must be ignored--the object's value will not need to be set, as the 
 * interpreter could not understand that package. If an interpreter cannot 
 * establish whether a referenced object is missing from the model or 
 * instead is defined in an SBML namespace not understood by the interpreter, 
 * it may produce a warning to the user. (The latter situation may only 
 * arise if an SBML package is present in the SBML document with a 
 * package:required attribute of "true".)
 *
 * In the context of a simulation, rate rules are in effect for simulation
 * time <em>t</em> &gt; <em>0</em>.  Please consult the relevant SBML
 * specification for additional information about the semantics of
 * assignments, rules, and entity values for simulation time <em>t</em>
 * \f$\leq\f$ <em>0</em>.
 *
 * As mentioned in the description of AssignmentRule, a model must not
 * contain more than one RateRule or AssignmentRule object having the same
 * value of "variable"; in other words, in the set of all assignment rules
 * and rate rules in an SBML model, each variable appearing in the
 * left-hand sides can only appear once.  This simply follows from the fact
 * that an indeterminate system would result if a model contained more than
 * one assignment rule for the same variable or both an assignment rule and
 * a rate rule for the same variable.
