        public NonNumeric​(SequenceIterator base,
                          Expression filter,
                          XPathContext context)
        Create a FilterIterator for the situation where it is known that the filter expression will never evaluate to a number value. For this case we can simply use the effective boolean value of the predicate
        Parameters:
        base - iterator over the sequence to be filtered
        filter - the filter expression
        context - the current context (for evaluating the filter expression as a whole). A new context will be created to evaluate the predicate.
