+Solved the FunctionSet problem; since Function does not specify a way to modify the function once it is instantiated,
+concurrent accesses should not be a problem. Should the user extend Function and implement a way to modify it at
+runtime, the CGP program won't really use it; if the user modifies the CGP program to use it, then the user must
+be ready to deal with the consequences.
+
+A fitness evaluation testbench of sorts will be implemented next. This testbench will take a set of "stimuli" (inputs),
+use them to compute outputs with each chromosome, and compare those with the expected outputs, thus assigning fitness.
+
+This will be achieved for now using a TestCase object which contains a set of inputs and outputs. The evaluator simply
+sets the chromosome inputs and compares outputs for all TestCase objects given, and computes a fitness function
+accordingly.
