Description:

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.
