                StrictLookup

Strict variable lookup mechanism for expressions.

Referencing an undefined variable using this lookup style will immediately raise an `UndefinedError`:

    >>> expr = Expression('nothing', lookup='strict')
    >>> expr.evaluate({})
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
    UndefinedError: "nothing" not defined

The same happens when a non-existing attribute or item is accessed on an existing object:

    >>> expr = Expression('something.nil', lookup='strict')
    >>> expr.evaluate({'something': dict()})
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
    UndefinedError: {} has no member named "nil"
