A declaration.

Most declarations either define or have a type.

The general order of the children of a declaration is as follows:

Annotations
(Modifier | Type) Identifier TypeParameters? Parameters*
CaseTypes? ExtendedType? SatisfiedTypes?
TypeConstraints?
(Body | AnySpecifier? ";")

However, the only children common to all declarations are the name of the declared program element and its annotations.

Examples:

shared actual String string => "``outer.string`` by ``step``";
shared class Person(shared String name) { string => name; }
