/**
* Represents one or more local variables. Typically it is a single local variable
* declared by name with an expression like "def foo" or with type "String foo". However,
* the multiple assignment feature allows you to create two or more variables using
* an expression like: def (x, y) = [1, 2].
*
* You can access the left hand side of a declaration using the
* "Expression getLeftExpression()" method. In which case you might then
* use instanceof and casting to perform operations specific to a
* single local variable (VariableExpression) or for the multiple
* assignment case (TupleExpression).
*
* Alternatively, if isMultipleAssignmentDeclaration() is false
* you can use the method "VariableExpression getVariableExpression()" method.
* Similarly, if isMultipleAssignmentDeclaration() is true
* you can use the method "TupleExpression getTupleExpression()" method.
* Calling either of these expression getters when the "isMultipleAssignment" condition
* is not appropriate is unsafe and will result in a ClassCastException.
