    Check if a given factor value indicates a baseline condition.

    Check if a given characteristic indicate a baseline condition.
  - isForcedBaseline
```
public static boolean isForcedBaseline(FactorValue fv)
```
    Check if this factor value is the baseline, overriding other possible baselines.
    A baseline can be *forced* in two ways: either by setting FactorValue.setIsBaseline(Boolean) to true or by adding a characteristic with the FORCED_BASELINE_VALUE_URI URI. In practice, this is not much different from isBaselineCondition(Statement), but there might be cases where you would want to indicate that the baseline was explicitly forced.
