public abstract class NonReducibleCompositeItem
extends CompositeItem

A composite item which specifies semantics which are not maintained if an instance with a single child is replaced by the single child. Most composites, like AND and OR, are reducible as e.g (AND a) is semantically equal to (a). This type functions as a marker type for query rewriters.
