 * Abstract base class for property descriptors of AST nodes.

 * - properties where the value is a primitive (int, boolean)
 * or simple (String, InfixExprsssion.Operator) type other than an
 * AST node; for example, the identifier of a {@link SimpleName}</li>
 * <li>child properties ({@link ChildPropertyDescriptor})
 * - properties whose value is another AST node;
 * for example, the name of a {@link MethodDeclaration}</li>
 * <li>child list properties ({@link ChildListPropertyDescriptor})
 * - properties where the value is a list of AST nodes;
 * for example, the statements of a {@link Block}</li>
