Comment (by hinder):

 As far as I can see in the patch, the function Util_ExpressionParse has
 been removed.  Is this correct?  I consider this a change to the API,
 because code which calls this function will have to be changed.  I had
 assumed that this function was documented and an official part of the
 flesh API, rather than an internal function, since it has a Util_ prefix
 rather than CCTKi_.  However, I now see that it is not documented
 (http://einsteintoolkit.org/documentation/ReferenceManual/ReferenceManualpa2.html#x5-219000B).
 I suspect that it is considered by most Cactus developers to be part of
 the flesh API, and should have been documented.  Since it is callable from
 user code, I don't think it should be removed.  Instead, the API should be
 maintained, and should call the new code underneath.
