/**
 * Concrete superclass and default implementation of an AST subtree matcher.
 * <p>
 * For example, to compute whether two ASTs subtrees are structurally 
 * isomorphic, use <code>n1.subtreeMatch(new ASTMatcher(), n2)</code> where 
 * <code>n1</code> and <code>n2</code> are the AST root nodes of the subtrees.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For each different concrete AST node type <i>T</i> there is a
 * <code>public boolean match(<i>T</i> node, Object other)</code> method
 * that matches the given node against another object (typically another
 * AST node, although this is not essential). The default implementations
 * provided by this class tests whether the other object is a node of the
 * same type with structurally isomorphic child subtrees. For nodes with 
 * list-valued properties, the child nodes within the list are compared in
 * order. For nodes with multiple properties, the child nodes are compared
 * in the order that most closely corresponds to the lexical reading order
 * of the source program. For instance, for a type declaration node, the 
 * child ordering is: name, superclass, superinterfaces, and body 
 * declarations.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Subclasses may override (extend or reimplement) some or all of the 
 * <code>match</code> methods in order to define more specialized subtree
 * matchers.
