/* expr.c - an expression class.
 * This module contains all code needed to represent expressions. Most
 * importantly, that means code to parse and execute them. Expressions
 * heavily depend on (loadable) functions, so it works in conjunction
 * with the function manager.

 * only for a brief period. In such cases, it saves us the need to copy the string.
 * Also, it is assumed that most callers will hold their private expression. If it 
 * is not shared, the caller can count on the string to remain stable as long as it
 * does not reevaluate the expression (via exprEval or other means) or destruct it.
