 * An expression that accesses a field of an object, such as <code>person().name</code>.
 * 
 * <p><strong>NB</strong> when parsing ActionScript code, it is not possible to
 * determine if some expressions are field-accesses or package-quilified-names
 * (without <em>semantic</em> analysis, which metaas doesn't do).  Attempting to
 * parse an expression like <code>a.B</code> is therefore likely to produce
 * an instance of ASFieldAccessExpression, even if it should actually be a
 * package-qualified reference to a definition elsewhere.</p>
