/**
 * This is an expression. It will be evaluated on the other side. The difference between an
 * expression and using IMethodProxy's, IConstructorProxy's, etc. is the granularity. The proxies
 * are one round-trip to the other side for each access or execution. The expression builds them up
 * and will execute them all at once on the other side. Another difference is that the reflection
 * will be done on the other side too. For instance when invoking a method, the method name is
 * passed into the expression as a string then reflected and then invoked, while with method
 * proxies, the string is used to find the proxy on the other side, and then a later round-trip
 * will be used to invoke it.
 * <p>
 * Also an expression is a one-time use object. It can't be reused a second time. A new one must be
 * built up again.
 * <p>
 * We are not using separate instances of expressions, and types of expressions, because we don't
 * want to build up many objects (in a form of an expression tree) that will then be thrown away
 * (one for each expression in the nested list of expressions). We just build the command list as
 * we build the expression.
 * <p>
 * To use, you call the IStandardBeanProxyFactory's createExpression method. An IExpression is
 * returned. From there you will start creating the contents of the expression. And then you will
 * finally either getExpressionValue() to get the final value of the expression, or use
 * invokeExpression() to just execute the expression(s). If you use getExpressionValue(), there can
 * only be one root expression. If you use invokeExpression there can be more than one root
 * expression, and they will all be executed.
 * <p>
 * Since sequence is so important, it will be tested and if anything is done out of order an
 * IllegalStateException will be thrown.
 * <p>
 * Each time an expression is created, one argument passed in will be <code>forExpression</code> flag.
 * This is a set of constants used as a clue for what expression this expression is being created.
 * This is for a sanity check on the state. For example, when creating the array expression for an
 * array access, the ARRAYACCESS_ARRAY flag is passed in. This way if the current expression on the
 * stack is not for an array access waiting for the array expression, an IllegalStateException will be thrown.
 * Without this flag, it would be easy to accidently create the wrong expression at the wrong time.
 * Once such an error occurs, this IExpression will no longer be valid. IllegalStateException will be thrown
 * for any type of access.
 * <p>
 * It is guarenteed that the entire stack of commands will be sent without stopping except for IllegalStateException
 * due to out of order expressions.
 * <p>
 * <b>Note:</b> This interface is not meant to be neither instantiated nor implemented by customers.
 * It is the interface into the expression processing. It is to be instantiated through the createExpression request.
 * The {@link org.eclipse.jem.internal.proxy.core.Expression} class is available as API. It is not meant to
 * be instantiated by customers, but customers can take the IExpression and cast to Expression for some advanced
 * API.
