// Represents a textual expression in the Common Expression Language (CEL)
// syntax. CEL is a C-like expression language. The syntax and semantics of CEL
// are documented at https://github.com/google/cel-spec.
//
// Example (Comparison):
//
//     title: "Summary size limit"
//     description: "Determines if a summary is less than 100 chars"
//     expression: "document.summary.size() < 100"
//
// Example (Equality):
//
//     title: "Requestor is owner"
//     description: "Determines if requestor is the document owner"
//     expression: "document.owner == request.auth.claims.email"
//
// Example (Logic):
//
//     title: "Public documents"
//     description: "Determine whether the document should be publicly visible"
//     expression: "document.type != 'private' && document.type != 'internal'"
//
// Example (Data Manipulation):
//
//     title: "Notification string"
//     description: "Create a notification string with a timestamp."
//     expression: "'New message received at ' + string(document.create_time)"
//
// The exact variables and functions that may be referenced within an expression
// are determined by the service that evaluates it. See the service
// documentation for additional information.
