Actually GetType() is already defined for every object in C#. All 
objects derived directly or indirectly from System.Object. GetType() 
is inherited from System.Object.

Java's AST.getType()/setType() are mapped to the AST.Type property in 
C#. AST.getType() isn't defined because CLS compliance forbids having 
GetType() and getType() on the same object.

AST.setType() is supported for "cross-language backwards 
consistency" ;-)

AST.getText()/setText() are fully supported.
