CommandRankingByProblemclassparser.t[5848]

A command ranking criterion that measures a "problem" by a count of occurrences stored in a property of the CommandRanking object. For example, we could count the number of noun phrases that don't resolve to any objects.

On the first, coarse-grained pass, we measure only the presence or absence of our problem. That is, if one parse tree has zero occurrences of the problem and the other has a non-zero number of occurrences of the problem (as measured by our counting property), then we'll prefer the one with zero occurrences. If both have no occurrences, or both have a non-zero number of occurrences, we'll consider the two equivalent for the first pass, since we only care about the presence or absence of the problem.

On the second, fine-grained pass, we measure the actual number of occurrences of the problem, and choose the parse tree with the lower number.
