 * AI parameters. class to deal with AI parameters. It is an implementation detail.
 * We need implementation which will allow easy access to all the parameters
 * which match any of the pre-defined set of filters
 * such as 'select from ai_parameters where time_of_day=first watch'
 * or 'select from ai_parameters where active(current_game_state)=true'
 * it should be noted that there may be several variables with a same name but
 * different filters. the proposed rules, in general, are:
 * 1) scenario_parameter_in_SIDE_section > scenario_parameter_in_AI_section > default_value
 * then, if (1) is equal:
 * 2) use scenario-creator supplied priority ( 'not set' = 0)
 * then, if (2) is equal:
 * 3) more restricted parameter > less restricted parameter
 * then, if (3) is equal:
 * use any and loudly complain.
