/**
 * An <code>Expression</code> that refers to a method on an object.
 * 
 * <p>
 * <code>The {@link ExpressionFactory#createMethodExpression} method
 * can be used to parse an expression string and return a concrete instance
 * of <code>MethodExpression</code> that encapsulates the parsed expression.
 * The {@link FunctionMapper} is used at parse time, not evaluation time, 
 * so one is not needed to evaluate an expression using this class.  
 * However, the {@link ELContext} is needed at evaluation time.</p>
 *
 * <p>The {@link #getMethodInfo} and {@link #invoke} methods will evaluate the 
 * expression each time they are called. The {@link ELResolver} in the 
 * <code>ELContext</code> is used to resolve the top-level variables and to 
 * determine the behavior of the <code>.</code> and <code>[]</code> 
 * operators. For any of the two methods, the {@link ELResolver#getValue} 
 * method is used to resolve all properties up to but excluding the last 
 * one. This provides the <code>base</code> object on which the method
 * appears. If the <code>base</code> object is null, a 
 * <code>NullPointerException</code> must be thrown. At the last resolution, 
 * the final <code>property</code> is then coerced to a <code>String</code>,
 * which provides the name of the method to be found. A method matching the 
 * name and expected parameters provided at parse time is found and it is 
 * either queried or invoked (depending on the method called on this
 * <code>MethodExpression</code>).</p>
 *
 * <p>See the notes about comparison, serialization and immutability in 
 * the {@link Expression} javadocs.
