public class PrioritisedRuleList
extends ArrayList
implements Serializable

A list of rules ordered according to priority. May be used for ordering non-matched rules (in which case the order is based on priority/position), or matched rules (in which case the order is based on matched lenght/priority/position). Note that position represents the idea of order within an input file; it is assumed that this is the same as the order of addition of the rules to the list, i.e. a rule added 5th is assumed to occupy 5th place in the file (or other rule source). This class is based on JGL's DList, which allows for fast insertion of elements at any point. The highest priority rule is the first in the list, which may be accessed by front().
