// <etymology>
//  This derived LEL letter class handles a condition as a mask.
// </etymology>
 
// <synopsis>
// This LEL letter class is derived from LELInterface.  It
// is used to construct LEL objects that know how to deal with
// a condition (given using operator[]).
// The operands cannot be a scalar.
// The LELCondition object is embedded in the tree, and the conversion
// actually happens at tree evaluation time.
// <p>
// A description of the implementation details of the LEL classes can
// be found in
// <a href="../notes/216.html">Note 216</a>
// </synopsis> 
 
// <example>
// Examples are not very useful as the user would never use 
// these classes directly.  Look in LatticeExprNode.cc to see 
// how it invokes these classes.  An example of how the user
// would indirectly use this class (through the envelope) is:
// <srcblock>
// IPosition shape(2,5,10);
// ArrayLattice<Float> x(shape); x.set(1.0);
// ArrayLattice<Double> y(shape); 
// y.copyData(x[x>5]);                 // y = x;
// </srcblock>
// The LELCondition class is embedded in the tree at construction time
// so as to turn the condition in a mask on x.
// </example>
