/**
 * An abstract path is formed by two parts : the first part is a parent path.
 * The second part can be an attribute or an operation (e.g. KEY() or VALUE())
 * or a join type operation. Based on the exact nature of the second part, 
 * concrete derivation of this class combines the two constituent parts to 
 * arrive at complete path name.
 * For example, a navigation path adds the two part with a navigation '.' 
 * operator, while a OperatorPath will combine the parts as KEY(parent).
 * 
 * The constituent parts are immutable and supplied at construction. Hence
 * concrete implementations know what exact type they are dealing with, but
 * this receiver maintains it state as more generic type to accommodate
 * concrete types to cast/interpret these state variables.
