Detailed Description

TAO_Constraint_Validator ensures that in an expression tree passed to it, the operands of each operation match the correct types.

TAO_Constraint_Validator uses the visitor pattern to traverse all the nodes in an expression tree, checking that for each operator node the operands are of the proper data type it they're literals, or that they exist in the service type definition _and_ have the proper type, if they're property names. The algorithm for type checking is as follows: ensure that operand expression(s) return the correct types using expr_returns* methods. If they (or it) return the correct types, call accept on each operand until all return true or one returns false, at which point we can back out of the traversal and indicate failure.
