 * The original text can be recovered by concatenating the texts of all tokens in order.
 * Accessing a child of particular type (for example, parameter list of a function) generally involves linerary traversing the children, looking for a specific `kind`.
 * Modifying the tree is roughly `O(depth)`.
-  We don't make special efforts to guarantree that the depth is not liner, but, in practice, syntax trees are branchy and shallow.

 * If mandatory (grammar wise) node is missing from the input, it's just missing from the tree.
 * If an extra erroneous input is present, it is wrapped into a node with `ERROR` kind, and treated just like any other node.
 * Parser errors are not a part of syntax tree.
