/**
 * This AST transformation aims at helping in debugging other AST transformations. It provides a basic
 * infrastructure for performing tests on AST nodes. You can place this annotation on any node which
 * accepts an annotation (types, methods, annotations, constructors, fields, local variables, packages
 * or parameters), then use a script which is run against this AST node at a specific phase. For example,
 * you could test the {@link Field} AST transformation this way:
 *
 *  * import groovy.transform.*
 *
 * {@code @ASTTest}(value = {
 *    def owner = node.declaringClass
 *    assert owner.fields.any { it.name == 'x' }
 *  })
 * {@code @Field int x}
 *
 * 
 *
 * The closure code is executed after the specified phase has completed. If no phase is selected, then the
 * code is executed after the {@link org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilePhase#SEMANTIC_ANALYSIS semantic analysis} phase.
 * The node variable refers to the AST node where the AST test annotation is put. In the previous example,
 * it means that node refers to the declaration node (int x).
