 * @class SBMLInitialAssignmentConverter
 * @sbmlbrief{core} Converter that removes SBML <em>initial assignments</em>.
 *
 * @htmlinclude libsbml-facility-only-warning.html
 *
 * This is an SBML converter for replacing InitialAssignment objects, when
 * possible, by setting the initial value attributes on the model objects
 * being assigned.  In other words, for every object that is the target of an
 * initial assignment in the model, the converter evaluates the mathematical
 * expression of the assignment to get a @em numerical value, and then sets
 * the corresponding attribute of the object to the value.  The effects for
 * different kinds of SBML components are as follows:
 *
 * <center>
 * <table border="0" class="text-table width80 normal-font alt-row-colors">
 *  <tr style="background: lightgray; font-size: 14px;">
 *      <th align="left" width="200">Component</th>
 *      <th align="left">Effect</th>
 *  </tr>
 *  <tr>
 *  <td>Compartment</td>
 *  <td>Sets the value of the <code>size</code> attribute.</td>
 *  </tr>
 *  <tr>
 *  <td>Species</td>
 *  <td>Sets the value of either the <code>initialAmount</code>
 *  or the <code>initialConcentration</code> attributes, depending
 *  on the value of the Species object's
 *  <code>hasOnlySubstanceUnits</code> attribute.</td>
 *  </tr>
 *  <tr>
 *  <td>Parameter</td>
 *  <td>Sets the value of the <code>value</code> attribute.</td>
 *  </tr>
 *  <tr>
 *  <td>SpeciesReference</td>
 *  <td>Sets the value of the <code>stoichiometry</code> attribute
 *  in the Reaction object where the SpeciesReference object appears.</td>
 *  </tr>
 * </table>
 * </center>
 *
 * @section SBMLInitialAssignmentConverter-usage Configuration and use of SBMLInitialAssignmentConverter
 *
 * SBMLInitialAssignmentConverter is enabled by creating a
 * ConversionProperties object with the option @c "expandInitialAssignments",
 * and passing this properties object to SBMLDocument::convert(@if java
 * ConversionProperties@endif).  The converter offers no other options.
