Abstract base class for all AST nodes that represent comments.
There are exactly three kinds of comment:
line comments (<A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/dom/LineComment.html" title="class in org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.dom"><CODE>LineComment</CODE></A>),
block comments (<A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/dom/BlockComment.html" title="class in org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.dom"><CODE>BlockComment</CODE></A>), and
doc comments (<A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/dom/JSdoc.html" title="class in org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.dom"><CODE>JSdoc</CODE></A>).

Provisional API: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to
change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback
from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken
(repeatedly) as the API evolves.

<DL>
<DD>Returns the root AST node that this comment occurs
within, or <code>null</code> if none (or not recorded).
<p>
Typically, the comment nodes created while parsing a compilation
unit are not considered descendents of the normal AST
root, namely an <A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/dom/JavaScriptUnit.html" title="class in org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.dom"><CODE>JavaScriptUnit</CODE></A>. Instead, these
comment nodes exist outside the normal AST and each is
a root in its own right. This optional property provides
a well-known way to navigate from the comment to the
javaScript unit in such cases. Note that the alternate root
property is not one of the comment node's children. It is simply a
reference to a node.
