 * @class TAO_Constraint_Interpreter

 * @brief TAO_Constraint_Interpreter will, given a constraint string whose
 * syntax and semantics comply with the trader specification for the
 * constraint language, determine if a CosTrading::Offer meets the
 * constraints.
 *
 * TAO_Constraint_Interpreter will first build an expression tree
 * representing the constraint expression using Lex and Yacc. Then,
 * using a TAO_Constraint_Validator, it will validate the semantic
 * correctness of the tree. When the evaluate method is invoked with
 * an Offer, the TAO_Constraint_Interpreter will construct an
 * EvaluationVisitor, which will evaluate the tree and decide
 * whether the offer meets the constraints.
