/// \class RooFormulaVar
///
/// A RooFormulaVar is a generic implementation of a real-valued object,
/// which takes a RooArgList of servers and a C++ expression string defining how
/// its value should be calculated from the given list of servers.
/// RooFormulaVar uses a RooFormula object to perform the expression evaluation.
///
/// If RooAbsPdf objects are supplied to RooFormulaVar as servers, their
/// raw (unnormalized) values will be evaluated. Use RooGenericPdf, which
/// constructs generic PDF functions, to access their properly normalized
/// values.
///
/// The string expression can be any valid TFormula expression referring to the
/// listed servers either by name or by their ordinal list position. These three are
/// equivalent:
/// ```
///   RooFormulaVar("gen", "x*y", RooArgList(x,y))       // reference by name
///   RooFormulaVar("gen", "@0*@1", RooArgList(x,y))     // reference by ordinal with @
///   RooFormulaVar("gen", "x[0]*x[1]", RooArgList(x,y)) // TFormula-builtin reference by ordinal
/// ```
/// Note that `x[i]` is an expression reserved for TFormula. All variable references
/// are automatically converted to the TFormula-native format. If a variable with
/// the name `x` is given, the RooFormula interprets `x[i]` as a list position,
/// but `x` without brackets as the name of a RooFit object.
///
/// The last two versions, while slightly less readable, are more versatile because
/// the names of the arguments are not hard coded.
