This interface represents an element that can be for example an identifiable part of the WITH clause. It has been introduced to circumvent the absence of union types in Java and to avoid an overload of ExposesWith.with(String...) or other expressions with an Object... parameter. This type here allows passing named things. aliased expression, symobolic names into a pipeline.

There should be no need to implement this on your own.
