* Represents a member expression in the expression tree
*
*
* A member expression node is inserted in the expression tree for any member operator ("/")
* which is used to reference a property of an complex type or entity type.
*
*
*
For example: The expression "address/city eq 'Heidelberg' will result in an expression tree
* containing a member expression node for accessing property "city" which is part of the
* complex property "address". Method {@link #getPath()} will return a reference to the "address" property,
* method {@link #getProperty()} will return a refence to the "city" property.
