> ExpressionEvaluator abstracts OGNL by providing an OGNL independent interface 
> for evaluating expressions. It is very useful not only for bindings but for 
> custom usage as well. I'd like to propose some enhancements to make it more 
> useable:
> - add more configuration options, for example allow specifying a custom OGNL 
> class resolver
> - allow custom context variables like
>        public Object read(Object target, String expression, Map<String, ?> 
> variables);
>        The values in "variables" would be accessible as OGNL global 
> variables, eg. #mycustomvariable
>        For more information see 
> http://www.ognl.org/2.6.9/Documentation/html/LanguageGuide/varref.html
> (- maybe the interface should be renamed to OgnlExpressionEvaluator)
> (- maybe there could be configurable default variables when evaluating 
> bindings, like #locale -> requestCycle.engine.locale. These would help for 
> application developers to simplify the page files. I know that it is another 
> way to implement existing functionality - <inject> - but maybe it would be 
> useful.)
> The two latter are only quick ideas but the rest would be very useful!
> If you think so then I send my own ExpressionEvaluator implementation (which 
> is compatible with the current one in Tapestry).
