public abstract class AbstractNotConvertibleToken
extends Token

The Token base class provides a very general interface for building new data types. However, in many ways, the interface is rather complex in order to allow operations between tokens that are defined in different classes. In particular, this requires the duplicate operation() and operationReverse() methods.

This base class is intended to make it easy to implement tokens where operations are only defined for other tokens that are defined in the same class. In these cases, the operation() and operationReverse() method can share the same code. This class implements these methods to ensure that the argument of each operation is actually an instance of the correct class. The implementation then defers to a protected _operation() method. These protected methods should be overridden in derived classes to provide type-specific operations.

This class is used a base class for ArrayToken and RecordToken. Note that these classes actually represent tokens having different types in the type lattice.
