     Description: Adds reusable macro expansion capability for other Jenkins plugins

  In various Jenkins plugins, such as email-ext and description-setter, an user
  is asked to provide an "expression" that evaluates to text. For example, in the
  case of the email-ext plugin, the whole email content is one big expression, so
  is the subject. This often includes some kind of macro tokens, which evaluates
  to things like build number, cause, the current branch being built, etc. In the
  description-setter plugin, the user configures a similar expression that
  evaluates to the string that becomes a build string. In instant messenger
  plugin, one might configure the template that controls what messages the user
  will receive.

  All these plugins share the common concept of token expansions, where something
  like ${SUBVERSION_REVISION} expands to some textual values, and since this
  notion is useful beyond any single use case, it makes sense to define it
  elsewhere. And this is exactly what this plugin does — to define the mechanism
  for plugins to define tokens (and their parameters) and their evaluation, and
  allow this mechanism to be reused by different plugin
