-/**
- * Describes an operation that is composed of at least two other operations. The
- * component operations are treated as alternatives to each other in order of
- * preference. The semantics of the composite operation is "first successful".
- * That is, a composite of {@code GET_PROPERTY|GET_ELEMENT:color} should be
- * interpreted as <i>get the property named "color" on the object, but if the
- * property does not exist, then get the collection element named "color"
- * instead</i>.
- * <p>
- * Composite operations are helpful in implementation of languages that
- * don't distinguish between one or more of the property, method, and element
- * namespaces, or when expressing operations against objects that can be
- * considered both ordinary objects and collections, e.g. Java
- * {@link java.util.Map} objects. A composite operation
- * {@code GET_PROPERTY|GET_ELEMENT:empty} against a Java map will always match
- * the {@link java.util.Map#isEmpty()} property, but
- * {@code GET_ELEMENT|GET_PROPERTY:empty} will actually match a map element with
- * key {@code "empty"} if the map contains that key, and only fall back to the
- * {@code isEmpty()} property getter if the map does not contain the key. If
- * the source language mandates this semantics, it can be easily achieved using
- * composite operations.
- * <p>
- * Even if the language itself doesn't distinguish between some of the
- * namespaces, it can be helpful to map different syntaxes to different
- * compositions. E.g. the source expression {@code obj.color} could map to
- * {@code GET_PROPERTY|GET_ELEMENT|GET_METHOD:color}, but a different source
- * expression that looks like collection element access {@code obj[key]} could
- * be expressed instead as {@code GET_ELEMENT|GET_PROPERTY|GET_METHOD}.
- * Finally, if the retrieved value is subsequently called, then it makes sense
- * to bring {@code GET_METHOD} to the front of the list: the getter part of the
- * source expression {@code obj.color()} should be
- * {@code GET_METHOD|GET_PROPERTY|GET_ELEMENT:color} and the one for
- * {@code obj[key]()} should be {@code GET_METHOD|GET_ELEMENT|GET_PROPERTY}.
- * <p>
- * The elements of a composite operation can not be composites or named
- * operations, but rather simple operations such are elements of
- * {@link StandardOperation}. A composite operation itself can serve as the base
- * operation of a named operation, though; a typical way to construct e.g. the
- * {@code GET_ELEMENT|GET_PROPERTY:empty} from above would be:
- * <pre>
- * Operation getElementOrPropertyEmpty = new NamedOperation(
- *     new CompositeOperation(
- *         StandardOperation.GET_ELEMENT,
- *         StandardOperation.GET_PROPERTY),
- *     "empty");
- * </pre>
- * <p>
- * Not all compositions make sense. Typically, any combination in any order of
- * standard getter operations {@code GET_PROPERTY}, {@code GET_ELEMENT}, and
- * {@code GET_METHOD} make sense, as do combinations of {@code SET_PROPERTY} and
- * {@code SET_ELEMENT}; other standard operations should not be combined. The
- * constructor will allow any combination of operations, though.

+/**
+ * Describes an operation that operates on at least one {@link Namespace} of
+ * an object. E.g. a property getter would be described as
+ * <pre>
+ * Operation propertyGetter = new NamespaceOperation(
+ *     StandardOperation.GET,
+ *     StandardNamespace.PROPERTY);
+ * </pre>
+ * They are often combined with {@link NamedOperation}, e.g. to express a
+ * property getter for a property named "color", you would construct:
+ * <pre>
+ * Operation colorPropertyGetter = new NamedOperation(
+ *     new NamespaceOperation(
+ *         StandardOperation.GET,
+ *         StandardNamespace.PROPERTY),
+ *     "color");
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>While {@code NamespaceOperation} can be constructed directly, it is often convenient
+ * to use the {@link Operation#withNamespace(Namespace)} and {@link Operation#withNamespaces(Namespace...)} factory
+ * methods instead, e.g.:
+ * <pre>
+ * Operation getElementOrPropertyEmpty =
+ *     StandardOperation.GET
+ *         .withNamespace(StandardNamespace.PROPERTY)
+ *         .named("color");
+ * </pre>
+ * <h3>Operations on multiple namespaces</h3>
+ * If multiple namespaces are specified, the namespaces are treated as
+ * alternatives to each other in order of preference. The semantics of
+ * such operation is "first applicable".
+ * That is, a composite of {@code GET:PROPERTY|ELEMENT:color} should be
+ * interpreted as <i>get the property named "color" on the object, but if the
+ * property does not exist, then get the collection element named "color"
+ * instead</i>.
+ * <p>
+ * Operations with multiple namespaces are helpful in implementation of languages that
+ * don't distinguish between one or more of the namespaces, or when expressing operations
+ * against objects that can be considered both ordinary objects and collections, e.g. Java
+ * {@link java.util.Map} objects. A {@code GET:PROPERTY|ELEMENT:empty} operation
+ * against a Java map will always match
+ * the {@link java.util.Map#isEmpty()} property, but
+ * {@code GET:ELEMENT|PROPERTY:empty} will actually match a map element with
+ * key {@code "empty"} if the map contains that key, and only fall back to the
+ * {@code isEmpty()} property getter if the map does not contain the key. If
+ * the source language mandates this semantics, it can be easily achieved using
+ * operations on multiple namespaces.
+ * <p>
+ * Even if the language itself doesn't distinguish between some of the
+ * namespaces, it can be helpful to map different syntaxes to different namespace orderings.
+ * E.g. the source expression {@code obj.color} could map to
+ * {@code GET:PROPERTY|ELEMENT|METHOD:color}, but a different source
+ * expression that looks like collection element access {@code obj[key]} could
+ * be expressed instead as {@code GET:ELEMENT|PROPERTY|METHOD} in order to favor the
+ * element semantics. Finally, if the retrieved value is subsequently called, then it makes sense
+ * to bring {@code METHOD} to the front of the namespace list: the getter part of the
+ * source expression {@code obj.color()} could be
+ * {@code GET:METHOD|PROPERTY|ELEMENT:color} and the one for
+ * {@code obj[key]()} could be {@code GET:METHOD|ELEMENT|PROPERTY}.
+ * <p>
+ * The base operation of a namespace operation can not itself be a namespace or named
+ * operation, but rather one of simple operations such are elements of
+ * {@link StandardOperation}. A namespace operation itself can serve as the base
+ * operation of a named operation, though; a typical way to construct e.g. the
+ * {@code GET:ELEMENT|PROPERTY:empty} from above would be:
+ * <pre>
+ * Operation getElementOrPropertyEmpty = StandardOperation.GET
+ *     .withNamespaces(
+ *         StandardNamespace.ELEMENT,
+ *         StandardNamespace.PROPERTY)
+ *     .named("empty");
+ * </pre>
