public interface Operation

An interface abstracting any operation. The operation may be explicitly encoded in an implementing subclass, or may defer the operation to some method receiving the Operation as a parameter. Arithmetic operations should be encoded explicitly; in this case, subclasses should implement EncodedOperation. In this way, the encoding of an arithmetic operation can be decoupled from the control of evaluation order.
