/** @brief
 * An algorithm that removes rows from a table where
 * a given expression evaluates to true.
 *
 * @details
 * The expression parser supports the following operations:
 *     +,-,*,/,%,<.<=,>,>=,==,!=,&&,||.!,?
 *
 * Grouping in the expression is denoted in the usual
 * way: ()
 *
 * Constants in the expression are expanded to full length
 * arrays and can be typed. The supported types are:
 *     d,f,L,l,i,s,c
 * Corresponding to double,float, long long, long, int,
 * short and char respectively. Integer types can be
 * unsigned by including u after the code.
