Method: projects.value.compute

Computes an arbitrary value. This will fail if the result of the Expression is not something that is expressible as a Value, or if its evaluation requires too many resources. While it is possible (and not an error) to compute any type of object here, in general any Expression producing results that are better suited to one of the other Compute* endpoints should use that endpoint instead (e.g., an Expression whose result is a set of features should use ComputeFeatures).
