020 * Result of a comparison of a CvTerm T defined in a CvRule against the parameter P

023 * The comparison can yield three different results: 
024 *  P == T : P is identical to T: IDENTICAL,
025 *  P -- T : P is a child of T: CHILD_OF,
026 *  P != T : P is neither a child nor identical to T, they are: NOT_RELATED;
