/** Functional interface that exposes a method to find a CEL variable value by name. */
@FunctionalInterface
public interface CelVariableResolver {

  /**
   * Find a variable value, if present, by {@code name}.
   *
   * Variable {@code String} names may be simple, e.g. {@code status} or qualified {@code
   * pkg.qual.status}. CEL resolves identifiers within an expression {@code container} using
   * protobuf namespace resolution rules.
   *
   * 
For example, given an expression container name {@code a.b.c.M.N} and a variable name {@code
   * R.s}, CEL evaluators will try resolve names in the following order:
   *
   * 

   *   {@code a.b.c.M.N.R.s}
   *   
{@code a.b.c.M.R.s}
   *   
{@code a.b.c.R.s}
   *   
{@code a.b.R.s}
   *   
{@code a.R.s}
   *   
{@code R.s}
   *
