// <synopsis>
// This class acts as an interface between a program given as a string (e.g.
// from a command line interface) and a
// <linkto class=Function>Function</linkto> class. The grammar of the language
// use to express the function is given below. The <src>FuncEXpression</src>
// can be used in all places where Functions can be used (like in the
// linear and non-linear <linkto module=Fitting>Fitting</linkto> classes.
//
// An expression is created by either supplying a <src>String</src> to a 
// constructor, or be setting a <src>String</src>. 
// </synopsis>
