/**
 * <p>
 * A default implementation of the {@code ExpressionEngine} interface
 * providing the &quot;native&quot; expression language for hierarchical
 * configurations.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This class implements a rather simple expression language for navigating
 * through a hierarchy of configuration nodes. It supports the following
 * operations:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>Navigating from a node to one of its children using the child node
 * delimiter, which is by the default a dot (&quot;.&quot;).</li>
 * <li>Navigating from a node to one of its attributes using the attribute node
 * delimiter, which by default follows the XPATH like syntax
 * <code>[@&lt;attributeName&gt;]</code>.</li>
 * <li>If there are multiple child or attribute nodes with the same name, a
 * specific node can be selected using a numerical index. By default indices are
 * written in parenthesis.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * As an example consider the following XML document:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 *  &lt;database&gt;
 *    &lt;tables&gt;
 *      &lt;table type=&quot;system&quot;&gt;
 *        &lt;name&gt;users&lt;/name&gt;
 *        &lt;fields&gt;
 *          &lt;field&gt;
 *            &lt;name&gt;lid&lt;/name&gt;
 *            &lt;type&gt;long&lt;/name&gt;
 *          &lt;/field&gt;
 *          &lt;field&gt;
 *            &lt;name&gt;usrName&lt;/name&gt;
 *            &lt;type&gt;java.lang.String&lt;/type&gt;
 *          &lt;/field&gt;
 *         ...
 *        &lt;/fields&gt;
 *      &lt;/table&gt;
 *      &lt;table&gt;
 *        &lt;name&gt;documents&lt;/name&gt;
 *        &lt;fields&gt;
 *          &lt;field&gt;
 *            &lt;name&gt;docid&lt;/name&gt;
 *            &lt;type&gt;long&lt;/type&gt;
 *          &lt;/field&gt;
 *          ...
 *        &lt;/fields&gt;
 *      &lt;/table&gt;
 *      ...
 *    &lt;/tables&gt;
 *  &lt;/database&gt;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * If this document is parsed and stored in a hierarchical configuration object,
 * for instance the key {@code tables.table(0).name} can be used to find
 * out the name of the first table. In opposite {@code tables.table.name}
 * would return a collection with the names of all available tables. Similarly
 * the key {@code tables.table(1).fields.field.name} returns a collection
 * with the names of all fields of the second table. If another index is added
 * after the {@code field} element, a single field can be accessed:
 * {@code tables.table(1).fields.field(0).name}. The key
 * {@code tables.table(0)[@type]} would select the type attribute of the
 * first table.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This example works with the default values for delimiters and index markers.
 * It is also possible to set custom values for these properties so that you can
 * adapt a {@code DefaultExpressionEngine} to your personal needs.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The concrete symbols used by an instance are determined by a
 * {@link DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols} object passed to the constructor.
 * By providing a custom symbols object the syntax for querying properties in
 * a hierarchical configuration can be altered.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Instances of this class are thread-safe and can be shared between multiple
 * hierarchical configuration objects.
 * </p>

     * To be able to deal with the structure supported by hierarchical
     * configuration implementations the passed in key is of importance,
     * especially the indices it might contain. The following example should
     * clarify this: Suppose the current node structure looks like the
     * following:
     * </p>
     * <pre>
     *  tables
     *     +-- table
     *             +-- name = user
     *             +-- fields
     *                     +-- field
     *                             +-- name = uid
     *                     +-- field
     *                             +-- name = firstName
     *                     ...
     *     +-- table
     *             +-- name = documents
     *             +-- fields
     *                    ...
     * </pre>
     * <p>
     * In this example a database structure is defined, e.g. all fields of the
     * first table could be accessed using the key
     * {@code tables.table(0).fields.field.name}. If now properties are
     * to be added, it must be exactly specified at which position in the
     * hierarchy the new property is to be inserted. So to add a new field name
     * to a table it is not enough to say just
     * </p>
     * <pre>
     * config.addProperty(&quot;tables.table.fields.field.name&quot;, &quot;newField&quot;);
     * </pre>
     * <p>
     * The statement given above contains some ambiguity. For instance it is not
     * clear, to which table the new field should be added. If this method finds
     * such an ambiguity, it is resolved by following the last valid path. Here
     * this would be the last table. The same is true for the {@code field};
     * because there are multiple fields and no explicit index is provided, a
     * new {@code name} property would be added to the last field - which
     * is probably not what was desired.
     * </p>
     * <p>
     * To make things clear explicit indices should be provided whenever
     * possible. In the example above the exact table could be specified by
     * providing an index for the {@code table} element as in
     * {@code tables.table(1).fields}. By specifying an index it can
     * also be expressed that at a given position in the configuration tree a
     * new branch should be added. In the example above we did not want to add
     * an additional {@code name} element to the last field of the table,
     * but we want a complete new {@code field} element. This can be
     * achieved by specifying an invalid index (like -1) after the element where
     * a new branch should be created. Given this our example would run:
     * </p>
     * <pre>
     * config.addProperty(&quot;tables.table(1).fields.field(-1).name&quot;, &quot;newField&quot;);
     * </pre>
     * <p>
     * With this notation it is possible to add new branches everywhere. We
     * could for instance create a new {@code table} element by
     * specifying
     * </p>
     * <pre>
     * config.addProperty(&quot;tables.table(-1).fields.field.name&quot;, &quot;newField2&quot;);
     * </pre>
     * <p>
     * (Note that because after the {@code table} element a new branch is
     * created indices in following elements are not relevant; the branch is new
     * so there cannot be any ambiguities.)
     * </p>
     *
     * @param <T> the type of the nodes to be dealt with
     * @param root the root node of the nodes hierarchy
