                          throws M4Exception

  Constructor for AttributeCreationTool. We expect the input concept, the BaseAttribute that contains the values that determine the number of output attributes, and the chain to which the new step will belong.

Parameters:
  `inputConcept` - The Input Concept for the Step to be created.
  `indexBA` - The index attribute, used to determine the number of output attributes
  `chain` - The Chain to which to add the new Step
