/**
 A mutation request specified in MoML.  This class provides the preferred
 mechanism for implementing mutations on a model while it is executing.
 To use it, create an instance of this class, specifying MoML code as
 an argument to the constructor.  Then queue the instance of this class
 with a composite entity by calling its requestChange() method.
 <p>
 If a context is given to the constructor, then the MoML will
 be executed in that context.  If that context has other objects
 that defer their MoML definitions to it (i.e., it is a class
 definition and there are instances of the class), then the
 MoML will also be executed in the context of those objects
 that defer to it.  Thus, the change to a class will propagate
 to instances.  If the context is (deeply) contained by another
 object that has objects that defer their MoML definitions to
 it, then the changes are also propagated to those objects.
 Thus, even when class definitions are nested within class
 definitions, a change within a class definition will
 propagate to all instances of the class(es).
 <p>
 The parser used to implement the change will be the parser contained
 by a ParserAttribute of the top-level element of the context.  If no
 context is given, or there is no ParserAttribute in its top level,
 then a new parser is created, and a new ParserAttribute is placed
 in the top level.
 <p>
 Note that if a context is specified that is above a class
 definition, and a change within the class definition is made
 by referencing the contents of the class definition using dotted
 names, then the change will not propagate. Thus, changes should be
 made in the most specific context (lowest level in the hierarchy)
 possible.
