/**
	What's in a name?  I'll tell you...
	Name() is a somewhat ambiguous thing in the grammar and so is this.
	<p>
	
	This class is a name resolver.  It holds a possibly ambiguous dot 
	separated name and reference to a namespace in which it allegedly lives.  
	It provides methods that attempt to resolve the name to various types of 
	entities: e.g. an Object, a Class, a declared scripted BeanShell method.
	<p>

	Name objects are created by the factory method NameSpace getNameResolver(), 
	which caches them subject to a class namespace change.  This means that 
	we can cache information about various types of resolution here.
	Currently very little if any information is cached.  However with a future
	"optimize" setting that defeats certain dynamic behavior we might be able
	to cache quite a bit.
*/
/*
	<strong>Implementation notes</strong>
	<pre>
	Thread safety: all of the work methods in this class must be synchronized
	because they share the internal intermediate evaluation state.

	Note about invokeMethod():  We could simply use resolveMethod and return
	the MethodInvoker (BshMethod or JavaMethod) however there is no easy way
	for the AST (BSHMehodInvocation) to use this as it doesn't have type
	information about the target to resolve overloaded methods.
	(In Java, overloaded methods are resolved at compile time... here they
	are, of necessity, dynamic).  So it would have to do what we do here
	and cache by signature.  We now do that for the client in Reflect.java.

	Note on this.caller resolution:
	Although references like these do work:

		this.caller.caller.caller...   // works

	the equivalent using successive calls:

		// does *not* work
		for( caller=this.caller; caller != null; caller = caller.caller );

	is prohibited by the restriction that you can only call .caller on a 
	literal	this or caller reference.  The effect is that magic caller 
	reference only works through the current 'this' reference.
	The real explanation is that This referernces do not really know anything
	about their depth on the call stack.  It might even be hard to define
	such a thing...

	For those purposes we provide :

		this.callstack
