public Step(boolean depthUnlimited,
            String name,
            List<Predicate> predicates)
```
    Constructs a new Step object, given a name and a (possibly null) list of predicates. A boolean is also passed, indicating whether this particular Step is relative to the 'descendent-or-self' axis of the node courrently under consideration. If true, it is; if false, then this Step is rooted as a direct child of the node under consideration.
