* A representation of the model object '<em><b>Replace</b></em>'.
* <!-- end-user-doc -->
*
* <!-- begin-model-doc -->
* An abstract-syntactical convenience to construct a value from an existing one, replacing a component somewhere in the possibly deep structure that the value has.
*
* The replacement always produces a value of the same type as the source value. It can provide a navigation path, following associations, staying withing values, with the last path component being allowed to end at an entity or a value class. Each path segment may add a constraint which makes sense specifically for multiplicities greater than one.
