22 * An expression that accesses a field of an object, such as <code>person().name</code>.
23 *
24 * <p><strong>NB</strong> when parsing ActionScript code, it is not possible to
25 * determine if some expressions are field-accesses or package-quilified-names
26 * (without <em>semantic</em> analysis, which metaas doesn't do). Attempting to
27 * parse an expression like <code>a.B</code> is therefore likely to produce
28 * an instance of ASFieldAccessExpression, even if it should actually be a
29 * package-qualified reference to a definition elsewhere.</p>
