<p>
A Domain creates an association between expressions and a so-called
generator, which is a function that maps an expression in the default
domain to an equivalent expression in this Domain. It also associates
an expression with a grammar, to which all expressions within this
Domain must conform.

The type of the result of applying

the specified expression type. The result is required to
model <a class="link" href="Expr.html" title="Concept Expr">Expr</a>. The domain type
associated with <code class="computeroutput">result_type</code>

type in this domain. This is used, for instance, when
calculating the type of a variable to hold a Proto
expression.
