//! Expression metadata and type inference types.
//!
//! These types provide the foundation for tracking mathematical types
//! and context information associated with expressions.
//!
//! ## Overview
//!
//! The metadata system allows consumers of the mathlex AST to annotate expressions
//! with inferred or declared type information. This is particularly useful for:
//!
//! - Type checking in symbolic mathematics systems
//! - Disambiguation of operations (e.g., scalar vs. vector multiplication)
//! - Tracking the provenance of type information
//! - Building more sophisticated mathematical analysis tools
//!
//! ## Design Philosophy
//!
//! mathlex is a parsing library and does not perform type inference itself.
//! These types are provided as a foundation for consumers to build their own
//! type inference systems on top of the AST.
//!
//! ## Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use mathlex::metadata::{MathType, ExpressionMetadata, ContextSource};
//!
//! // Create metadata for an explicitly declared vector
//! let vector_meta = ExpressionMetadata::explicit(MathType::Vector(Some(3)));
//! assert_eq!(vector_meta.confidence, 1.0);
//! assert_eq!(vector_meta.context_source, ContextSource::Explicit);
//!
//! // Create metadata inferred from structure
//! let inferred_meta = ExpressionMetadata::structural(
//!     MathType::Scalar,
//!     0.9
//! );
//! assert_eq!(inferred_meta.confidence, 0.9);
//! assert_eq!(inferred_meta.context_source, ContextSource::Structural);
//! ```
