/**
 * An AST node representing a <code>function</code> declaration,
 * either for a regular function, a getter, or a setter.
 * <p>
 * The shape of this node is:
 * <pre>
 * IFunctionNode
 *   IMetaTagsNode            <-- getMetaTagsNode()
 *   INamespaceDecorationNode <-- getNamespaceNode()
 *   IKeywordNode             <-- getKeywordNode()
 *   IKeywordNode             <-- getAccessorKeywordNode()
 *   IExpressionNode          <-- getNameExpressionNode()
 *   IContainerNode           <-- getParametersContainerNode()
 *   IExpressionNode          <-- getReturnTypeNode()
 *   IScopedNode              <-- getScopedNode()
 * </pre>
 * For example,
 * <pre>
 * [Foo]
 * [Bar]
 * public function f(i:int, j:int = 0):void
 * {
 *     ...
 * }
 * </pre>
 * is represented as
 * <pre>
 * IVariableNode
 *   IMetaTagsNode
 *     IMetaTagNode "Foo"
 *     IMetaTagNode "Bar"
 *   INamespaceDecorationNode "public"
 *   IKeywordNode "function"
 *   IIdentifierNode "f"
 *   IContainerNode
 *     IParameterNode
 *       IIdentifierNode "a"
 *       IIdentifierNode "*"
 *     IParameterNode
 *       IIdentifierNode "b"
 *       IIdentifierNode "int"
 *       INumericLiteralNode 0
 *    IIdentifierNode "void"
 *   IScopedNode
 *     ...
 * </pre>
 * If there is no metadata, the corresponding child node is not present.
 * <p>
 * If there is no namespace, the corresponding child node is not present.
 * <p>
 * For a getter or setter, there are two child nodes which are <coded>IKeywordNode</code>,
 * one for <code>"function"</code> and one for <code>"get"</code> or <code>"set"</code>.
 * For a plain function, the second keyword node is not present.
 * <p>
 * If there are no parameters, there is an empty child <code>IContainerNode</code>.
 * <p>
 * If there is no return type, the corresponding child node is not present.
