Class GeneralUtils

src/main/java/org/codehaus/groovy/ast/tools/GeneralUtils.java:128–2463

Handy methods when working with the Groovy AST. Provides factory methods for creating common AST nodes and utility methods for expression and statement construction. This utility class offers shorthand methods (often with abbreviated names) for building AST structures: Statement const
