[rules-users] Can someone explain what RulebaseConfiguration.setRemoveIdentities(true) does?

[Brett M. Bergquist]

In the manual, there is an example when setting up to use identity 
assert behavior:

    RuleBaseConfiguration conf = new RuleBaseConfiguration();
    conf.setAssertBehaviour( AssertBehaviour.IDENTITY );
    conf.setRemoveIdentities( true );
    RuleBase ruleBase = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase( conf );
      

I need to use AssertBehavior.EQUALITY in one of my RuleBase and I don't 
know if I need to call "conf.setRemoveIdentities" or not.  The API 
documentation is very sparse on what this method does.

Thanks in advance.
