# An artifact is fetched from the catalog through the name by which it was added to that catalog.
# When first instantiated as an object (of class Artifact, or an extension thereof), values are set to the artifact's
# class arguments.
# When added to the catalog, the type (name of immediate class) along with the values of its arguments, are specified
# in the catalog record (json file) of that artifact, associated with the name given to that record upon adding to
# the catalog.
# When the artifact is later fetched from the catalog by that name, the values of its arguments are fetched as well,
# and used to instantiate the artifact into the object it was when added to the catalog.
#
# An addendum to this fetching process is a specification of alternative values to replace, upon fetching, (some of)
# the fetched values of the artifact's arguments, and to use the thus updated values for the instantiation following
# this fetching.
#
# The alternative arguments values, aka overwrites, are expressed as a string-ed series of key-value pairs, enclosed
# in square brackets, appended to the name of the artifact name.
#
# Overall, the formal definition of a query string, by which an artifact is fetched and instantiated, is as follows:
#
# query -> name | name [overwrites]
# overwrites -> assignment (, assignment)*
# assignment -> name = term
# term -> [ term (, term)* ] | { assignment (, assignment)* } | name_value | query
#
# name_value starting at a given point in the query string is the longest substring of the query string,
# that starts at that point, and ends upon reaching the end of the query string, or one of these chars:  [],:{}=
# spaces are allowed.
# name is a name_value that is not evaluated to an int, or float, or boolean.
#
# The following code processes a given query string, verifies that it conforms with the above format syntax, throwing
# exceptions otherwise, and returns a pair of: (a) artifact name in the catalog, and (b) a (potentially empty)
# dictionary whose keys are names of (some of) the class arguments of the artifact, associated with the alternative
# values to set to these arguments, upon the instantiation of the artifact as a response to this query.
#
# Note: the code does not verify that a name of an artifact's argument is indeed a name of an argument of that
# artifact. The instantiation process that follows the parsing will verify that.
# Also, if an alternative value of an argument is specified, in turn, as a query with overwrites, the conforming
# of that query with the above syntax is done when processing the major query of the artifact, but the parsing of the
# overwrites (in the argument's query) is delayed to the stage when the recursive instantiation of the major artifact
# reaches the instantiation of that argument.
