<DL>
<DD>For an expression that returns an integer or a sequence of integers, get
a lower and upper bound on the values of the integers that may be returned, from
static analysis. The default implementation returns null, meaning "unknown" or
"not applicable". Other implementations return an array of two IntegerValue objects,
representing the lower and upper bounds respectively. The values
UNBOUNDED_LOWER and UNBOUNDED_UPPER are used by convention to indicate that
the value may be arbitrarily large. The values MAX_STRING_LENGTH and MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH
are used to indicate values limited by the size of a string or the size of a sequence.
