/**
 * A {@link NodeField} element defines a field for the generated {@link Node}. A {@link Node}
 * contains multiple {@link NodeFields} specified in linear declaration order. The field can be
 * accessed by declaring an abstract getter or setter named
 * "get" + firstLetterUpperCase({@link #name()})() and
 * "set" + firstLetterUpperCase({@link #name()})(). If no setter is specified then the
 * resulting field will be final and passed in as constructor argument to the create factory method.
 * If an abstract setter was specified then the field will be mutable and not passed in as
 * constructor argument. Note that the generated mutable field will not be {@link CompilationFinal}.
 * 
 * If the {@link NodeField} is used in combination with {@link GenerateUncached} then the generated
 * getters or setters throw an {@link UnsupportedOperationException} for the uncached variant of the
 * node.
