The "unknown" expression type is not meant to be used in a general way to describe expressions. Expressions that have an unknown expression type are not eligible or valid for being persisted to metadata storage. The unknown expression type is only used in the following circumstances:

• As a means of communicating from one piece of code to another (for example, the parser to the code calling the parser) indicating that the expression type could not be determined.
