\class RooAbsRealLValue
\ingroup Roofitcore

RooAbsRealLValue is the common abstract base class for objects that represent a
real value that may appear on the left hand side of an equation ('lvalue')
Each implementation must provide a setVal() member to allow direct modification 
of the value. RooAbsRealLValue may be derived, but its functional relation
to other RooAbsArg must be invertible

This class has methods that export the defined range of the lvalue,
but doesn't hold its values because these limits may be derived
from limits of client object.  The range serve as integration
range when interpreted as a observable and a boundaries when
interpreted as a parameter.
