[Mondrian] descendants of a member

[Julian Hyde]

I've no objection to that as long as you provide a default
implementation that various schema readers can use. Also please use
typed collections (e.g. List<Member>) rather than arrays - we're moving
away from arrays. 

Note also that we have the ability to cache expression results. <a
member>.DESCENDANTS is being called many times in the same query, you
could generate a $Cache(<a member>.DESCENDANTS) 

Be sure to test this functionality with NONEMPTY=true in the context.
That always breaks everything.
