 *
 * The FbcValidator class extends the Validator class from core libSBML to
 * apply validation to the constructs introduced by the SBML Level&nbsp;3
 * @ref fbc (&ldquo;fbc&rdquo;) package.  This class then acts as a base
 * class for any validators that apply rules to the &ldquo;fbc&rdquo; package
 * specification constructs or to entire models that use the
 * &ldquo;fbc&rdquo; package, and may therefore be subject to other global
 * restrictions introduced.
