For example, for a node type like CompilationUnit,
the "imports" property returns ImportDeclaration.class.
public final boolean cycleRisk()
A property is vulnerable to cycles if a node of the owning
type (that is, the type that owns this property) could legally
appear in the AST subtree below this property. For example,
the body property of a
MethodDeclaration node
admits a body which might include statement that embeds
another MethodDeclaration node.
On the other hand, the name property of a
MethodDeclaration node admits only names, and thereby excludes
another MethodDeclaration node.
