Example code for paper: Efficient model transformations for novices

The main goal of this code is to give an overview, and an understandable
implementation, of known techniques for pattern matching and solving the
sub-graph homomorphism problem. The presented techniques do not include
performance adaptations/optimizations. It is not optimized to be efficient
but rather for the ease of understanding the workings of the algorithms.
The paper does list some possible extensions/optimizations.

It is intended as a guideline, even for novices, and provides an in-depth look
at the workings behind various techniques for efficient pattern matching.
