 * A <code>Member</code> is a 'point' on a dimension of a cube. Examples are
 * <code>[Time].[1997].[January]</code>,
 * <code>[Customer].[All Customers]</code>,
 * <code>[Customer].[USA].[CA]</code>,
 * <code>[Measures].[Unit Sales]</code>.
 *
 * <p> Every member belongs to a {@link Level} of a {@link Hierarchy}. Members
 * except the root member have a parent, and members not at the leaf level
 * have one or more children.
 *
 * <p> Measures are a special kind of member. They belong to their own
 * dimension, <code>[Measures]</code>.
 *
 * <p> There are also special members representing the 'All' value of a
 * hierarchy, the null value, and the error value.
 *
 * <p> Members can have member properties. Their {@link Level#getProperties}
 * defines which are allowed.
