A week of symfony #351 (16->22 September 2013)

This week, the new Expression Language component was added to the master branch of the Symfony2 repository. This component allows the use of expressions for services definition, routes, access control rules and validation constraints. It was publicly introduced this week at the Symfony Live London 2013 conference and it will be the main new feature of Symfony 2.4.
