/**
* Expression items have one or more names used to reference it in mathematical expressions and display them in a result.
* Each name must be fully unique, with the exception that functions can have names used by other types of items
* (for example "min" is used as a name for the minute unit but also for a function returning smallest value in a vector).
*
* Items have an optional title and description for information to the end user.
* The categoy property is used to organize items, so that the end user can easily find them.
* Subcategories are separated by a slash, '/' (ex. "Physical Constants/Electromagnetic Constants").
*
* A local item is created/edited by the end user.
*
* A builtin item has defining properties that can/should not be edited by the user and is usually an item not loaded from the definition files.
*
* An inactive item can not be used in expressions and can share the name of an active item.
*
* The hidden propery defines if the item should be hidden from the end user.
*
* Before an item can be used in expressions, it must be added to the Calculator object using CALCULATOR->addExpressionItem().
* It is then said to be registered.
*
* To delete an ExpressionItem object you should use destroy() to make sure that the item is removed from the Calculator and does not have any referrer.
