* defined precedence onto each other to achieve proper precedence. Precedence is defined as:
     * <ul>
     *     <li>System properties (lowest precedence)</li>
     *     <li>Project properties (optional)</li>
     *     <li>User properties (highest precedence)</li>
     * </ul>
     * Note: Project properties contains properties injected from profiles, if applicable. Their precedence is

     * <p>
     * Supported filters:
     * <ul>
     *     <li>"h" or "h(num)" - highest version or top list of highest ones filter</li>
     *     <li>"l" or "l(num)" - lowest version or bottom list of lowest ones filter</li>
     *     <li>"s" - contextual snapshot filter</li>
     *     <li>"e(G:A:V)" - predicate filter (leaves out G:A:V from range, if hit, V can be range)</li>
     * </ul>

     * <li>The parent uses aggregation and refers to the child via the modules section</li>
     * <li>The module path to the child is considered to
     * point at the POM rather than its base directory if the path ends with ".xml" (ignoring case)</li>
     * <li>The name of the child's base directory matches the artifact id of the child.</li>
     * </ul>
