+     * @short Implements XPath 2.0 unary expression, <tt>(-|+)ValueExpr</tt>.
+     *
+     * UnaryExpression is implemented by rewriting the expression <tt>operator [expr]</tt>
+     * to the ArithmeticExpression <tt>0 operator [expr]</tt>. For example, the expression
+     * <tt>+3</tt> becomes <tt>0 + 3</tt>, and <tt>-nodetest</tt> becomes <tt>0 - nodetest</tt>.
+     *
+     * On top of that expression ArithmeticExpression does the usual type
+     * checking conversion. The only thing this class do, is to overide
+     * evaluateSingleton() and calls Numeric::toNegated(). The reason this
+     * UnaryExpression is needed at all and that <tt>0 - [expr]</tt> is
+     * insufficent is that <tt>0 - xs:double(0)</tt> needs to return -0,
+     * instead of 0. I know no other difference.
+     *
+     * In most cases the constant propagation optimization rewrites UnaryExpression into
+     * a value, an instance of a sub-class of the Numeric class, wrapped with
+     * Literal.
+     *
+     * Beyond the mathematical implication the unary expression have, it also
+     * have the significant effect that it may invoke type promotion or that an expression
+     * may contain a type error. For example, the expression "+'a string'" contains a type error, since
+     * no unary operator is defined for @c xs:string. This is the reason why the '+' unary
+     * operator isn't ignored.
+     *
