24   * Manages variables which can be referenced in a JEXL expression.
25   *
26   * <p>JEXL variable names in their simplest form are 'java-like' identifiers.
27   * JEXL also considers 'ant' inspired variables expressions as valid.
28   * For instance, the expression 'x.y.z' is an 'antish' variable and will be resolved as a whole by the context,
29   * i.e. using the key "x.y.z". This proves to be useful to solve "fully qualified class names".</p>
30   *
31   * <p>The interpreter variable resolution algorithm will try the different sequences of identifiers till it finds
32   * one that exists in the context; if "x" is an object known in the context (JexlContext.has("x") returns true),
33   * "x.y" will <em>not</em> be looked up in the context but will most likely refer to "x.getY()".</p>
34   *
35   * <p>Note that JEXL may use '$jexl' and '$ujexl' variables for internal purpose; setting or getting those
36   * variables may lead to unexpected results unless specified otherwise.</p>
