/**
 * <b>Purpose:</b>Wraps an immutable value for a past time.
 * A session, query, or expression can be as of a past time.
 * <p>
 * For Oracle 9R2 Flasback corresponds to the sub clause which appears between
 * the table and alias name in the FROM clause:
 * <code>SELECT ... FROM EMPLOYEE AS OF TIMESTAMP (value) t0, ...</code>
 * <p>For generic historical schema support, a special criteria can be added to
 * the where clause for each table in a select:
 * <code>((t0.ROW_START {@literal <=} value) AND ((t0.END IS NULL) OR (t1.END {@literal >} value)))</code>
 * <p><b>Responsibilities:</b>
 * <ul>
 * <li>By default AsOfClause is a timestamp.  To specify a system change number use AsOfSCNClause.
 * <li>For Oracle 9R2 Flashback prints the correct AS OF clause before the alias name in the FROM clause.
 * <li>Read-only: the wrapped value can not change.
 * </ul>
