HEAD

We really need some interfaces that make it easier to deal with structurally similar ASTNode classes. The 'Invocations' group has been identified as being missing by almost everybody who used the AST so far.

But there are also other groups that should get a common superinterface, e.g. BODY_PROPERTY (defined in 10 classes, see e.g. the dances required in org.eclipse.jdt.internal.corext.refactoring.code.SourceProvider.isDangligIf())
