public interface Symbol

Represents a read-only symbol. A symbol can be a named constant or variable. It has a return type an can be evaluated.

Within an expression, a reference to a symbol is created if the parser encounters a name and this name can be resolved through the parser's current namespace. The resulting term in this case is an instance of Term.Ref.
