/**
 * <p>
 * This class is capable of comparing any task tree node which is not an iteration with an
 * iteration. This is needed, because iterations may iterate exactly that node. In this
 * case, the iteration would be equal to that node if it was executed exactly once. The rule
 * returns lexically equal, it the child of the iteration is lexically equal to the node
 * or if the child of the iteration is a selection and this selections contains a lexically equal
 * node. The same applies for syntactical and semantical equality.
