/**
 * <p>
 * this task comparison rule is capable of comparing selections. If both selections do not have
 * children, they are treated as lexically equal. If they have children, each child of both
 * selections is compared to each child of the respective other selection. The resulting equality
 * is the most concrete one of all these comparisons. I.e. if all children are at least lexically
 * equal, then the selections are lexically equal. If all children are at least syntactically
 * equal, then the selections are syntactically equal. If all children are at least semantically
 * equal, then the selections are semantically equal. If only one of the selections has children,
 * then the selections are unequal. The comparison is broken up, if only a specific equality is
 * checked for and this equality is ensured.
