CodeUnit Class

Declares a unit of independent code that belongs to the root-level namespace (also known as a "compilation unit"). Usually is the contents of a source file, but it can optionally be in-memory only. A CodeUnit is essentially a NamespaceDecl of the global namespace.

Remarks
The format of a code unit is (in order): - Zero or more "extern alias" directives - Zero or more "using" directives (or "using aliasname = ...") - Zero or more global attributes - Zero or more namespace member declarations (child namespaces and/or type declarations) Of course, comments and preprocessor directives may be mixed in. The term "code unit" is used because the code might not be mapped to a file, and because it's shorter and more generic than the term "compilation unit" (which is specifically associated with compilation). Note that multiple CodeUnits can exist that map to the same physical file, in the case where the same file is a member of more than one project in the same solution. This is necessary, because each CodeUnit might have different compiler directives defined, resulting in a different parse tree. If saved to the file, each CodeUnit should produce the exact same save text, so no problems will result even though they write to the same file.
