    node for parse-trees, representing undefined variables

    This is a helper class for the compiler.

    This class exists solely for the error message when accessing undefined

    variables - instead of returning nil,  the compiler returns an instance

    of this class,  which will not understand ANY message.

    The error message will then be 'UndefinedVariable ...' 

    instead of 'UndefineObject ...', which is somewhat more informative.
