// <synopsis> 
// TaQLNodeHandler is a specialization of class
// <linkto class=TaQLNodeVisitor>TaQLNodeVisitor</linkto>.
// It processes the raw TaQL parse tree generated by TableGram.
// The processing is done in a recursive way. It starts at the top
// (which is a SELECT, UPDATE, etc. expression) and the processing
// results of a query are stored in a TableParseSelect object.
// These objects are kept in a stack for possible nested queries.
// After a query is fully processed, it is executed. Usually the result
// is a table; only a CALC command gives a TableExprNode as result.
// </synopsis> 

// <motivation>
// Separating the raw query parsing from the query processing has
// several advantages compared to the old situation where parsing
// and processing were combined.
// <ul>
//  <li> The full command is parsed before any processing is done.
//       So in case of a parse error, no possibly expensive processing
//       has been done yet.
//  <li> In the future query optimization can be done in an easier way.
//  <li> Nested parsing is not possible. In case a Table is opened
//       with a virtual TaQL column, the parsing of that TaQL string
//       does not interfere with parsing the TaQL command.
//  <li> It is possible to use expressions in the column list.
//       That could not be done before, because the column list was
//       parsed/processed before the table list.
// </ul>
// </motivation>
