Description

I am slightly confused by the usage of <Parameter> and <Property> given our discussions on "mutable parameters" (#32). Currently, it seems that <Parameter>s are only supposed to be set at <Component> creation time, whilst <Property>ies can be overridden with <Assign> under <Structure>. @robertcannon , how does that fit within our inheritance/overriding discussion? Didn't we say something about changing how <Structure> is handled?

In other words, how should an user specify that each one of the components in a population has a different value for one of its Parameters/Properties (or that all of them have the same value for the Parameter/Property except for one)?

There's <Constant> as well, which seems to allow <DerivedParameter>-like constructs. Would <DerivedParameter immutable="true"> make sense? (I am not convinced, just like in the <Child(ren)> case, just curious).
