question: protected static Variable findTargetVariable ( VariableExpression ve ) { final Variable accessedVariable = ve . getAccessedVariable ( ) != null ? ve . getAccessedVariable ( ) : ve ; if ( accessedVariable != ve ) { if ( accessedVariable instanceof VariableExpression ) return findTargetVariable ( ( VariableExpression ) accessedVariable ) ; } return accessedVariable ; }
target:  Given a variable expression, returns the ultimately accessed variable.
