 * @section DESCRIPTION
 * 
 * Object that parses and evaluates a logical expression.
 * Allows the user to define custom functions than can be
 * used in the expression.
 * 
 * Syntax and semantics for logical expressions:
 * 
 *   - true
 *     Logical true constant. Evaluates to 1.
 * 
 *   - false
 *     Logical false constant. Evaluates to 0.
 * 
 *   - NOT expression
 *     Logical negation. If the expression evaluates to error, the
 *     negation evaluates to error.
 * 
 *   - expression OR expression
 *     Logical disjunction. The second expression is only evaluated
 *     if the first expression evaluates to false. If a sub-expression
 *     evaluates to error, the disjunction evaluates to error.
 * 
 *   - expression AND expression
 *     Logical conjunction. The second expression is only evaluated
 *     if the first expression evaluates to true. If a sub-expression
 *     evaluates to error, the conjunction evaluates to error.
 * 
 *   - function(arg, ..., arg)
 *     Evaluation of a user-provided function (function is the name of the
 *     function, [a-zA-Z0-9_]+).
 *     If the function with the given name does not exist, it evaluates to
 *     error.
 *     Arguments are evaluated from left to right. Each argument can either
 *     be a logical expression or a string (characters enclosed in double
 *     quotes, without any double quote).
 *     If an argument is encountered, but all needed arguments have already
 *     been evaluated, the function evaluates to error.
 *     If an argument is of wrong type, it is not evaluated and the function
 *     evaluates to error.
 *     If an argument evaluates to error, the function evaluates to error.
 *     If after all arguments have been evaluated, the function needs more
 *     arguments, it evaluates to error.
 *     Then the handler function is called. If it returns anything other
 *     than 1 and 0, the function evaluates to error. Otherwise it evaluates
 *     to what the handler function returned.
