+# If a final sort according to "inheritance rules" should be performed after the traversal algorithm

+#
+# "Inheritance rules" refers to things such as group weightings, primary group status, and the
+# natural contextual ordering of the group nodes.
+#
+# Setting this to 'true' will allow for the inheritance rules to take priority over the structure of
+# the inheritance tree.
+#
+# Effectively when this setting is 'true': the tree is flattened, and rules applied afterwards,
+# and when this setting is 'false':, the rules are just applied during each step of the traversal.
