      public class Name
      extends AstNode

  AST node for a simple name. A simple name is an identifier that is not a keyword. Node type is `Token.NAME`.

  This node type is also used to represent certain non-identifier names that are part of the language syntax. It's used for the "get" and "set" pseudo-keywords for object-initializer getter/setter properties, and it's also used for the "*" wildcard in E4X XML namespace and name expressions.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Name

          public Name()

    - #### Name

          public Name(int pos)

    - #### Name

          public Name(int pos,
              int len)

    - #### Name

          public Name(int pos,
              int len,
              java.lang.String name)

      Constructs a new `Name`
      Parameters:
        `pos` - node start position
        `len` - node length
        `name` - the identifier associated with this `Name` node

    - #### Name

          public Name(int pos,
              java.lang.String name)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getIdentifier

          public java.lang.String getIdentifier()

      Returns the node's identifier

    - #### setIdentifier

          public void setIdentifier(java.lang.String identifier)

      Sets the node's identifier
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if identifier is null

    - #### setScope

          public void setScope(Scope s)

      Set the `Scope` associated with this node. This method does not set the scope's ast-node field to this node. The field exists only for temporary storage by the code generator. Not every name has an associated scope - typically only function and variable names (but not property names) are registered in a scope.
      Overrides:
        `setScope` in class `Node`
      Parameters:
        `s` - the scope. Can be null. Doesn't set any fields in the scope.

    - #### getScope

          public Scope getScope()

      Return the `Scope` associated with this node. This is only used for (and set by) the code generator, so it will always be null in frontend AST-processing code. Use `getDefiningScope()` to find the lexical `Scope` in which this `Name` is defined, if any.
      Overrides:
        `getScope` in class `Node`

    - #### getDefiningScope

          public Scope getDefiningScope()

      Returns the `Scope` in which this `Name` is defined.
      Returns:
        the scope in which this name is defined, or `null` if it's not defined in the current lexical scope chain

    - #### isLocalName

          public boolean isLocalName()

      Return true if this node is known to be defined as a symbol in a lexical scope other than the top-level (global) scope.
      Returns:
        `true` if this name appears as local variable, a let-bound variable not in the global scope, a function parameter, a loop variable, the property named in a `PropertyGet`, or in any other context where the node is known not to resolve to the global scope. Returns `false` if the node is defined in the top-level scope (i.e., its defining scope is an `AstRoot` object), or if its name is not defined as a symbol in the symbol table, in which case it may be an external or built-in name (or just an error of some sort.)

    - #### length

          public int length()

      Return the length of this node's identifier, to let you pretend it's a `String`. Don't confuse this method with the `AstNode.getLength()` method, which returns the range of characters that this node overlaps in the source input.

    - #### toSource

          public java.lang.String toSource(int depth)

      Description copied from class: `AstNode`
      Emits source code for this node. Callee is responsible for calling this function recursively on children, incrementing indent as appropriate.

      Note: if the parser was in error-recovery mode, some AST nodes may have `null` children that are expected to be non-`null` when no errors are present. In this situation, the behavior of the `toSource` method is undefined: `toSource` implementations may assume that the AST node is error-free, since it is intended to be invoked only at runtime after a successful parse.

      Specified by:
        `toSource` in class `AstNode`
      Parameters:
        `depth` - the current recursion depth, typically beginning at 0 when called on the root node.

    - #### visit

          public void visit(NodeVisitor v)

      Visits this node. There are no children to visit.
      Specified by:
        `visit` in class `AstNode`
      Parameters:
        `v` - the object to call with this node and its children
