  // This class represents a function in a table select tree.
  // The <src>rownumber</src> function is represented by class
  // <linkto class=TableExprNodeRownr>TableExprNodeRownr</linkto>.
  // The <src>rowid</src> function is represented by class
  // <linkto class=TableExprNodeRowid>TableExprNodeRowid</linkto>.
  // The <src>rand</src> function is represented by class
  // <linkto class=TableExprNodeRandom>TableExprNodeRandom</linkto>.
  // <p>
  // When one wants to add a function to the table selection grammar,
  // the following has to be done:
  // <ul>
  //  <li> Add the function to the enum below.
  //  <li> Implement the function in the get functions in ExprFuncNode(Array).cc.
  //  <li> Implement the function in the checkOperands in ExprFuncNode.cc.
  //  <li> Declare and define the function in ExprNode.h (for C++ binding).
  //  <li> Add the function to findFunc in TableParse.cc (for TaQL).
  // </ul>
