  /* 
    Branch-site models are defined just like branch models except the individual models 
    have more site classes (i.e. omega categories). Different models can be defined for 
    every branch on the tree if desired and there is no limit on the number of site 
    classes that can be defined. However, it is important to remember that the number 
    of site classes (and their relative proportions) cannot change on the tree.

    Also, the genetic code is not permitted to change but everything else is, including:
    kappa, omega, stationary frequencies, and the indel rates and length distributions. 
    The examples below will only show omega changing amongst models.

     root sequence and this model defines the number of site categories used.

/*
   If (instead of model names) we write omega values after the # symbol
   on branches in a tree then the branches class b1 above is the same 
   as saying that different sites will evolve according to the following:
    
      0.2   ( (A #0.0, B#0.1) #0.0,(C #0.0, D #0.2) #0.0); 
      0.3   ( (A #0.5, B#1.0) #0.5,(C #0.5, D #2.0) #0.5); 
      0.5   ( (A #1.0, B#3.0) #1.0,(C #1.0, D #6.0) #1.0); 

    i.e. 20% of sites will evolve with omega=0 except on the branch to B 
           where omega = 0.1 and on the branch to D where omega = 0.2,
         30% of sites will evolve with omega=0.5 except on the branch to B 
           where omega = 1 and on the branch to D where omega = 2,
         50% of sites will evolve with omega=1.0 except on the branch to B 
           where omega = 3 and on the branch to D where omega = 6.

    A format similar to above is used by Evolver in the PAML suite for simulating
    under branch-site codon models. However, the method implemented in INDELible 
    also allows for kappa, stationary frequencies and indel parameters to change too.
