Example: Iterate over the children using a predicate

In this example, we iterate over a predicate instead of the children of a container. We want to iterate over Robert's favorite animals, since he has four. We specify the 'favoriteAnimal' predicate using the 'containment' attribute. This causes the <member> tag to iterate over that predicate.
