 * Method declaration AST node type. A method declaration

 * MethodDeclaration:

 * <p>
 * The ReceiverParameter is represented as: <code>Type [ SimpleName <b>.</b> ] <b>this</b></code><br>
 * The FormalParameter is represented by a {@link SingleVariableDeclaration}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * When a Javadoc comment is present, the source
 * range begins with the first character of the "/**" comment delimiter.
 * When there is no Javadoc comment, the source range begins with the first
 * character of the first modifier keyword (if modifiers), or the
 * first character of the "&lt;" token (method, no modifiers, type parameters),
 * or the first character of the return type (method, no modifiers, no type
 * parameters), or the first character of the identifier (constructor,
 * no modifiers). The source range extends through the last character of the
 * ";" token (if no body), or the last character of the block (if body).
