@EnsuresNonNullIf(result=true,expression="elementFromTree(#1)") @EnsuresNonNullIf(result=true,expression="elementFromUse(#1)")
 @Pure
public static boolean isUseOfElement(ExpressionTree tree)
```
    Determine whether the given ExpressionTree has an underlying element.

    tree - the ExpressionTree to test
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the tree refers to an identifier, member select, or method invocation
  - hasSyntheticArgument
```
public static boolean hasSyntheticArgument(NewClassTree tree)
```
    Returns true if tree has a synthetic argument.
    For some anonymous classes with an explicit enclosing expression, javac creates a synthetic argument to the constructor that is the enclosing expression of the NewClassTree. Suppose a programmer writes:
```
 class Outer {
   class Inner { }
     void method() {
       this.new Inner(){};
     }
 }
```
    Java 9 javac creates the following synthetic tree for this.new Inner(){}:
```
 new Inner(this) {
   (.Outer x0) {
     x0.super();
   }
 }
```
    Java 11 javac creates a different tree without the synthetic argument for this.new Inner(){}; the first line in the below code differs:
```
 this.new Inner() {
   (.Outer x0) {
     x0.super();
   }
 }
```
    Parameters:
    
    tree - a new class tree
    
    Returns:
    
    true if tree has a synthetic argument

  - caseTreeGetExpressions
```
public static List<? extends ExpressionTree> caseTreeGetExpressions(CaseTree caseTree)
```
    Get the list of expressions from a case expression. For the default case, this is empty. Otherwise, in JDK 11 and earlier, this is a singleton list. In JDK 12 onwards, there can be multiple expressions per case.
    
    Parameters:

```
public static @Nullable Tree caseTreeGetBody(CaseTree caseTree)

    Parameters:
    
    caseTree - the case expression to get the body from
    
    Returns:
    
    the body of the case tree

    the binding variable of bindingPatternTree
  - instanceOfGetPattern
```
public static @Nullable Tree instanceOfGetPattern(InstanceOfTree instanceOfTree)

    Returns the pattern of instanceOfTree tree. Returns null if the instanceof does not have a pattern, including if the JDK version does not support instance-of patterns.
    
    Parameters:
    
    instanceOfTree - the InstanceOfTree whose pattern is returned
    
    Returns:
    
    the PatternTree of instanceOfTree or null if it doesn't exist

    Returns:
    
    the cases of switchExpressionTree
  - isSwitchStatement
```
public static boolean isSwitchStatement(Tree tree)
```
    Returns true if the given tree is a switch statement (as opposed to a switch expression).
    
    Parameters:
    
    tree - the switch statement or expression to check
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the given tree is a switch statement (as opposed to a switch expression)
  - yieldTreeGetValue
```
public static ExpressionTree yieldTreeGetValue(Tree yieldTree)
```
    Returns the value (expression) for yieldTree.
    
    Parameters:
    
    yieldTree - the yield tree
    
    Returns:
    
    the value (expression) for yieldTree
  - isVarArgs
```
public static boolean isVarArgs(Tree tree)
```
    Returns true if the given method/constructor invocation is a varargs invocation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    tree - a method/constructor invocation
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the given method/constructor invocation is a varargs invocation
  - isVarArgs
```
public static boolean isVarArgs(MethodInvocationTree invok)
```
    Returns true if the given method invocation is a varargs invocation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    invok - the method invocation
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the given method invocation is a varargs invocation
  - isVarArgs
```
public static boolean isVarArgs(NewClassTree newClassTree)
```
    Returns true if the given constructor invocation is a varargs invocation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    newClassTree - the constructor invocation
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the given method invocation is a varargs invocation
  - getKindRecordAsClass
```
public static Tree.Kind getKindRecordAsClass(Tree tree)
```
    Calls getKind() on the given tree, but returns CLASS if the Kind is RECORD. This is needed because the Checker Framework runs on JDKs before the RECORD item was added, so RECORD can't be used in case statements, and usually we want to treat them the same as classes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    tree - the tree to get the kind for
    
    Returns:
    
    the kind of the tree, but CLASS if the kind was RECORD
