    public class ReportMathExpression
    extends AbstractTransformer
    implements GrammarSupplier
    Evaluates a mathematical expression based on report values.
    Either outputs the updated report or the report handler if that allows updating the report. The calculated value can be output by itself, if the 'outputResult' property is enabled.
    Variables are supported as well, e.g.: pow(X,@{exp}) with '@{exp}' being a variable available at execution time.

    The following grammar is used for the expressions:

    expr_list ::= '=' expr_list expr_part | expr_part ;
    expr_part ::= expr ;

    expr ::= ( expr )

    Notes:
    - Variables are either all upper case letters (e.g., "ABC") or any character apart from "]" enclosed by "[" and "]" (e.g., "[Hello World]").
    - 'start' and 'end' for function 'substr' are indices that start at 1.
    - Index 'end' for function 'substr' is excluded (like Java's 'String.substring(int,int)' method)
    - Line comments start with '#'.
    - Semi-colons (';') or commas (',') can be used as separator in the formulas,
    e.g., 'pow(2,2)' is equivalent to 'pow(2;2)'
    - dates have to be of format 'yyyy-MM-dd' or 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'
    - times have to be of format 'HH:mm:ss' or 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'
    - the characters in square brackets in function names are optional:
    e.g. 'len("abc")' is the same as 'length("abc")'

    A lot of the functions have been modeled after LibreOffice:
    https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Functions_by_Category

    Additional functions:
    - env(String): String
       First argument is the name of the environment variable to retrieve.
       The result is the value of the environment variable.

    Additional procedures:
    - println(...)
       One or more arguments are printed as comma-separated list to stdout.
       If no argument is provided, a simple line feed is output.


    Input/output:
    - accepts:
       adams.data.report.Report
       adams.data.report.ReportHandler
    - generates:
       adams.data.report.Report
       adams.data.report.ReportHandler


    -logging-level <OFF|SEVERE|WARNING|INFO|CONFIG|FINE|FINER|FINEST> (property: loggingLevel)
        The logging level for outputting errors and debugging output.
        default: WARNING
     
    -name <java.lang.String> (property: name)

        default: 
     
    -skip <boolean> (property: skip)
        If set to true, transformation is skipped and the input token is just forwarded 
        as it is.
        default: false
     
    -stop-flow-on-error <boolean> (property: stopFlowOnError)
        If set to true, the flow gets stopped in case this actor encounters an error;
         useful for critical actors.
        default: false
     
    -silent <boolean> (property: silent)
        If enabled, then no errors are output in the console.
        default: false
     
    -expression <adams.parser.MathematicalExpressionText> (property: expression)
        The mathematical expression to evaluate.
        default: 42
     
    -field <adams.data.report.Field> (property: field)
        The field in the report to update.
        default: Blah[N]
     
    -output-result <boolean> (property: outputResult)
        If enabled, then the result is output instead of the report field updated.
        default: false
