   No terminations

Description
===========

.. start_description

Terminations should not be used.
parameter: 'ALL': all, 'NOIT: do not report terminations at iterator outputs'

.. end_description

Rationale
=========
This enforces compliance with a specific modeling standard by ensuring that terminators are not used in models.

Verification
============
This rule checks all model equations for use of a terminator operator. Depending on rule parameter value, the rule fails for any terminator:

* Anywhere in the model
* Outside of an iterator higher order operator output. Iterator operators are: ``Map``, ``Mapi``, ``Fold``, ``Foldi``, ``MapFold``, ``MapFoldi``.

Resolution
==========
Remove the offending terminator.

Customization
=============
N/A.
