         * task execution times, etc.
         *

         * in the actual selected instant being a full day ahead or behind the intended value.
         *
         * This method corrects the offset using Java 8's Time API, which allows for timeless
         * representations, to determine the date the user intended to select, then converting
         * that back to midnight in the server time zone. The result is stored back onto the Field.

         *
         *  - Paths are evaluated against the current context.
         *
         *  - Elements within Collections and Maps can be addressed using three different syntaxes,
         *    depending on your needs: list[1], list.1, or list._1. Similarly, map[key], map.key, or
         *    map._key. Three options are available to account for Sailpoint's various parsers.
         *
         *  - If an element is a Collection, the context object (and thus output) becomes a Collection. All
         *    further properties (other than indexes) are evalulated against each item in the collection.
         *    For example, on an Identity, the property 'links.application.name' resolves to a List of Strings.
         *
         *    This does not cascade. For example, links.someMultiValuedAttribute will result in a List of Lists,
         *    one for each item in 'links', rather than a single List containing all values of the attribute.
         *    TODO improve nested expansion, if it makes sense.
         *
