+    Undefined variables can be accessed in expressions, and evaluate to a
+    non-truth value for tests. To check whether a particular variable is
+    defined, its type can be compared to the special builtin class `Undefined`:
+    
+    >>> Expression('foo').evaluate({})
+    undefined
+    >>> Expression('type(foo) is Undefined').evaluate({})
+    True
