Implement (removeAlreadyWorkingOn(<Set>, <Channel>, <boolean>)) in "PropositionNode"

[ylkhayat]

Two methods exist with the same functionality

• removeAlreadyWorkingOn(NodeSet, Channel, boolean)

• removeAlreadyWorkingOn(List<Match>, Channel, boolean)

Description
Instance method, called from the class it's implemented in as follows PropositionNode.removeAlreadyWorkingOn(nodes/matchingNodes, currentChannel, ruleType). What this function establishes is the following, filtering any given set/list nodes/matchingNodes to remove instances of them having previously handled a similar request (channel properties) as the one given through the input currentChannel.

We check such a thing by comparing the filter of the old requests to the filter of the current request, if the set of substitutions in any of them subsumes the substitutions set of the current one, then we are "already working on it". - Akram
