<p>It is so flexible language that a conceptually same pattern |
102 |

can be represented in inifnite numbers of instances of selectors. |
103 |
|
It might be convinient for e.g. validation of a test result to |
104 |

define a subset of the language, in which no semantically equivalent |
105 |

selectors are contained.</p> |
