/**
 * This class provides a "local variable"-like construct for action
 * expressions in parser rule methods.
 *
 * Var objects wrap an internal value of an arbitrary (reference) type, can
 * have an initial value, allow read/write access to their values and can be
 * passed around as parameters to nested rule methods.
 *
 * Each rule invocation (i.e. rule matching attempt) receives its own
 * scope (which is automatically initialized with the initial value), so actions
 * in recursive rules work just like expected.
 *
 * Var objects generally behave just like local variables with one exception:
 * When rule method {@code rule1()} passes a Var defined in its scope to another
 * rule method {@code rule2()} as a parameter, and an action in rule method
 * {@code rule2()} writes to this Var, all actions in rule method {@code
 * rule1()} running after {@code rule2()} will "see" this newly written value
 * (since values in Var objects are passed by reference).
 *
 * @param  the type wrapped by this Var
