29   * Expression implementation for "meta rules".  A "meta rule" consists of a sequence of
30   * subordinate rule evaluations each processed according to an associated modifier:
31   * <dl>
32   *   <dt>next<dt>
33   *   <dd>proceed with rule evaluation</dd>
34   *   <dt>true</dt>
35   *   <dd>if this rule evaluates to true, then return the responsibilities associated with the rule</dd>
36   *   <dt>false</dt>
37   *   <dd>if this rule evaluates to false, then return the responsibilities associated with the rule</dd>
38   * </dl>
39   * E.g.
40   * <div><tt>bizRule1: next; bizRule2: true; bizRule3: false</tt></div>
