/// @brief explain a query and return information about it
///
/// @RESTHEADER{POST /_api/explain, Explain query}
///
/// @RESTBODYPARAM{body,json,required}
/// The query string needs to be passed in the attribute *query* of a JSON
/// object as the body of the POST request. If the query references any bind
/// variables, these must also be passed in the attribute *bindVars*.
///
/// @RESTDESCRIPTION
///
/// To explain how an AQL query would be executed on the server, the query string
/// can be sent to the server via an HTTP POST request. The server will then validate
/// the query and create an execution plan for it, but will not execute it.
///
/// The execution plan that is returned by the server can be used to estimate the
/// probable performance of an AQL query. Though the actual performance will depend
/// on many different factors, the execution plan normally can give some good hint
/// on the amount of work the server needs to do in order to actually run the query.
///
/// The top-level statements will appear in the result in the same order in which
/// they have been used in the original query. Each result element has at most the
/// following attributes:
/// - *id*: the row number of the top-level statement, starting at 1
/// - *type*: the type of the top-level statement (e.g. *for*, *return* ...)
/// - *loopLevel*: the nesting level of the top-level statement, starting at 1
/// Depending on the type of top-level statement, there might be other attributes
/// providing additional information, for example, if and which indexed will be
/// used.
/// Many top-level statements will provide an *expression* attribute that
/// contains data about the expression they operate on. This is true for *FOR*,
/// *FILTER*, *SORT*, *COLLECT*, and *RETURN* statements. The
/// *expression* attribute has the following sub-attributes:
/// - *type*: the type of the expression. Some possible values are:
/// - *collection*: an iteration over documents from a collection. The
/// *value* attribute will then contain the collection name. The *extra*
/// attribute will contain information about if and which index is used when
/// accessing the documents from the collection. If no index is used, the
/// *accessType* sub-attribute of the *extra* attribute will have the
/// value *all*, otherwise it will be *index*.
/// - *list*: a list of dynamic values. The *value* attribute will contain the
/// list elements.
/// - *const list*: a list of constant values. The *value* attribute will contain the
/// list elements.
/// - *reference*: a reference to another variable. The *value* attribute
/// will contain the name of the variable that is referenced.
///
/// Please note that the structure of the explain result data might change in future
/// versions of ArangoDB without further notice and without maintaining backwards
/// compatibility.
///
/// @RESTRETURNCODES
///
/// @RESTRETURNCODE{200}
/// If the query is valid, the server will respond with *HTTP 200* and
/// return a list of the individual query execution steps in the *"plan"*
/// attribute of the response.
///
/// @RESTRETURNCODE{400}
/// The server will respond with *HTTP 400* in case of a malformed request,
/// or if the query contains a parse error. The body of the response will
/// contain the error details embedded in a JSON object.
/// Omitting bind variables if the query references any will result also result
/// in an *HTTP 400* error.
///
/// @RESTRETURNCODE{404}
/// The server will respond with *HTTP 404* in case a non-existing collection is
/// accessed in the query.
///
/// @EXAMPLES
///
/// Valid query:
///
/// @EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_RUN{RestExplainValid}
/// var url = "/_api/explain";
/// var cn = "products";
/// db._drop(cn);
/// db._create(cn, { waitForSync: true });
/// body = '{ ' +
/// '"query" : "FOR p IN products FILTER p.id == @id LIMIT 2 RETURN p.name", ' +
/// '"bindVars": { "id" : 3 } ' +
/// '}';
///
/// var response = logCurlRequest('POST', url, body);
///
/// assert(response.code === 200);
///
/// logJsonResponse(response);
/// @END_EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_RUN
///
/// Invalid query:
///
/// @EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_RUN{RestExplainInvalid}
/// var url = "/_api/explain";
/// var cn = "products";
/// db._drop(cn);
/// db._create(cn, { waitForSync: true });
/// body = '{ "query" : "FOR p IN products FILTER p.id == @id LIMIT 2 RETURN p.n" }';
///
/// var response = logCurlRequest('POST', url, body);
///
/// assert(response.code === 400);
///
/// logJsonResponse(response);
/// @END_EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_RUN
///
/// The data returned in the *plan* attribute of the result contains one
/// element per AQL top-level statement (i.e. *FOR*, *RETURN*,
/// *FILTER* etc.). If the query optimiser removed some unnecessary statements,
/// the result might also contain less elements than there were top-level
/// statements in the AQL query.
/// The following example shows a query with a non-sensible filter condition that
/// the optimiser has removed so that there are less top-level statements:
///
/// @EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_RUN{RestExplainEmpty}
/// var url = "/_api/explain";
/// var cn = "products";
/// db._drop(cn);
/// db._create(cn, { waitForSync: true });
/// body = '{ "query" : "FOR i IN [ 1, 2, 3 ] FILTER 1 == 2 RETURN i" }';
///
/// var response = logCurlRequest('POST', url, body);
///
/// assert(response.code === 200);
///
/// logJsonResponse(response);
/// @END_EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_RUN
