-/**
- * A variable that can be referenced in an expression, which resolves to a string
- * value. Variables are referenced in expressions via their name, in the following
- * format.
- * <pre>
- * ${varname} or ${varname:argument}
- * </pre>
- * <p>
- * A variable is identified by its name, and optionally accepts an argument. When an
- * argument is present, a colon seperates the variable name from its argument.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * Variables can be contributed by extensions or programmatically. There are two
- * kinds of variables.
- * <ul>
- * <li><code>IValueVariable</code> - variables that have a value (with getter and setter), and
- * accept no arguments. The value of this type of variable is resolved at the time
- * its value is set via its setter API.</li>
- * <li><code>IDynamicVariable</code> - variables whose value is resolved at the time
- * a string substitution is performed by a contributed resolver. Dynamic variables
- * may accept an argument.</li>
- * </ul>
- * </p>
