* @short Base class for all AST nodes in an XPath/XQuery/XSL-T expression.
*
* @section ExpressionCreation Expression Compilation
*
* @subsection ExpressionCreationParser The process of creating an Expression
*
* The initial step of creating an internal representation(in some circles
* called an IR tree) of the XPath string follows classic compiler design: a scanner
* is invoked, resulting in tokens, which sub-sequently are consumed by a parser
* which groups the tokens into rules, resulting in the creation of
* Abstract Syntax Tree(AST) nodes that are arranged in a hierarchical structure
* similar to the EBNF.
*
* More specifically, ExpressionFactory::createExpression() is called with a
* pointer to a static context, and the string for the expression. This is subsequently
* tokenized by a Flex scanner. Mistakes detected at this stage is syntax
* errors, as well as a few semantical errors. Syntax errors can be divided
* in two types:
*
* - The scanner detects it. An example is the expression "23Eb3" which
* is not a valid number literal, or "1prefix:my-element" which is not a
* valid QName.
* - The parser detects it. This means a syntax error at a
* higher level, that a group of tokens couldn't be reduced to a
* rule(expression). An example is the expression "if(a = b) 'match' else
* 'no match'"; the tokenizer would handle it fine, but the parser would
* fail because the tokens could not be reduced to a rule due to the token
* for the "then" word was missing.
*
* Apart from the syntax errors, the actions in the parser also detects
* errors when creating the corresponding expressions. This is for example
* that no namespace binding for a prefix could be found, or that a function
* call was used which no function implementation could be found for.
*
* When the parser has finished, the result is an AST. That is, a
* hierarchical structure consisting of Expression sub-classes. The
* individual expressions haven't at this point done anything beyond
* receiving their child-expressions(if any), and hence reminds of a
* "construction scaffold". In other words, a tree for the expression
* <tt>'string' + 1 and xs:date('2001-03-13')</tt> could have been created, even if
* that expression contains errors(one can't add a xs:integer to a xs:string,
* and the Effective %Boolean Value cannot be extracted for date types).
*
* @subsection ExpressionCreationTypeChecking Type Checking
*
* After the AST creation, ExpressionFactory::createExpression continues with
* calling the AST node(which is an Expression instance)'s typeCheck()
* function. This step ensures that the static types of the operands matches
* the operators, and in the cases where it doesn't, modifies the AST such
* that the necessary conversions are done -- if possible, otherwise the
* result is a type error.
*
*
* This step corresponds roughly to what <a
* href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#id-static-analysis">2.2.3.1 Static Analysis Phase</a>
* labels operation tree normalization; step SQ5.
*
* @subsection ExpressionCreationCompression Compressing -- Optimization and Fixup
*
* The last step is calling compress(). This function is not called
* 'optimize', 'simplify' or the like, because although it performs all
* optimization, it also involves mandatory stages.
*
* One such is const folding, which while being an efficient optimization,
* also is a necessity for many XSL-T constructs. Another important step is
* that functions which had an evaluation dependency on the static context(as
* opposed to the dynamic) performs their "fixup".
*
* In other words, this stage potentially performs AST re-writes. For example,
* the expression <tt>3 + 3, concat('foo', '-', 'bar'), true() and false()</tt> would
* result in an AST corresponding to <tt>6, 'foo-bar', false()</tt>. This process
* is done backwards; each expression asks its operands to compress before it
* performs its own compression(and so forth, until the root expression's call
* returns to the caller).
