  - ### Method Detail

    - #### public static boolean canMean(int actual, int preferred)

      Given two types, returns true if the first can be viewed as the second. NOTE that `canMean()` is orthogonal to `ofType()`.

    - #### public static String getDescription(int type)

      Gets the description for the specified type.

    - #### public static Collection<String> getKeywords()

    - #### public static int getPrecedence(int type, boolean throwIfInvalid)

      Returns the precedence of the specified operator. Non-operator's will receive -1 or a GroovyBugError, depending on your preference.

    - #### public static String getText(int type)

      Returns the text for the specified type. Returns "" if the text isn't found.

    - #### public static boolean isAssignment(int type)

      Since:
        3.0.0

    - #### public static boolean isKeyword(String text)

    - #### public static int lookup(String text, int filter)

      Returns the type for the specified symbol/keyword text. Returns UNKNOWN if the text isn't found. You can filter finds on a type.

    - #### public static int lookupKeyword(String text)

      Returns the type for the specified keyword text. Returns UNKNOWN if the text isn't found.

    - #### public static int lookupSymbol(String text)

      Returns the type for the specified symbol text. Returns UNKNOWN if the text isn't found.

    - #### public static void makePostfix(CSTNode node, boolean throwIfInvalid)

      Converts a node from a generic type to a specific postfix type. Throws a `GroovyBugError` if the type can't be converted.

    - #### public static void makePrefix(CSTNode node, boolean throwIfInvalid)

      Converts a node from a generic type to a specific prefix type. Throws a `GroovyBugError` if the type can't be converted and requested.

    - #### public static boolean ofType(int specific, int general)

      Given two types, returns true if the second describes the first.
