Type node for a wildcard type (added in JLS3 API).
WildcardType:
   { Annotation } ? [ ( extends | super) Type ]

Not all node arrangements will represent legal Java constructs. In particular, it is nonsense if a wildcard type node appears anywhere other than as an argument of a ParameterizedType node.

Since:3.1
@noinstantiateThis class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.
