/**
* An {@link Expression} that represents a syntactic function application
* (that is, something that takes expressions themselves, rather than their values, as arguments).
* A typical example is the syntactic expression "type", which
* denotes the type of its "argument": type(X) stands for the type of X, not the type of its value.
* This means that a syntactic function does not have sub-expressions,
* because sub-expressions are by definition expressions whose values
* are used in the definition of the interpretation of their parent expression.
