/**
* This represents a piece of code in the program.
*
* It is formed of a set of instructions and can be implemented at
* bytecode or source-code level.
*
*
Typically, a code in the program comes from method bodies (it
* can be init methods (instance or static) or regular methods
* (instance or static) with any kind of visibility modifiers (public,
* protected, private).
*
*
So, this class allows the client to retrieve code locators on
* instructions within this code. This locators shall be used
* conjointly whith an {@link org.aopalliance.instrument.Instrumentor}
* implementation in order to perform aspetual transformations of the
* program (before/after/around type).
*
*
The {@link #getLocator} method returns the locator for the whole
* method and can be used to implement callee-side transformations
* before/after/around the callee method.
*
*
The other set of locating methods returns locators that allows
* the client to implement caller-side transformations (e.g. when the
* code accesses a field or calls a method).
*
