Description Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2002-04-09 12:33:16 EDT 
It would be nice if the AST Nodes could be distiguished by an int 'type'-id
like IJavaElement.getElementType / IResource.getType
- instanceof checks can be reduced.
- needed to implement a switch statement over many node types
- nice to find a parent of a certain kind

Jim, could you please have a look at this PR?
Comment 2 Jim des Rivieres CLA 2002-04-11 19:14:27 EDT 
Added ASTNode.getNodeType() and constants on ASTNode.
Constants are small, unique, positive numbers, suitable for use in switch
statements.

Test suites updated.
