-     public final class AnyChildNodePattern
      extends NodeTest

  An AnyChildNodePattern is the pattern node(), which matches any node except a root node, an attribute node, or a namespace node: in other words, any node that is the child of another node.

    - #### matches

          public boolean matches(NodeInfo node)

      Determine whether the pattern matches a given node.
      Specified by:
        `matches` in class `NodeTest`
      Parameters:
        `node` - the node to be tested
      Returns:
        true if the pattern matches, else false

    - #### matches

          public boolean matches(short nodeType,
                        int fingerprint)

      Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node
      Specified by:
        `matches` in class `NodeTest`
      Parameters:
        `nodeType` - The type of node to be matched
        `fingerprint` - identifies the expanded name of the node to be matched

    - #### getNodeType

          public short getNodeType()

      Determine the type of nodes to which this pattern applies.
      Overrides:
        `getNodeType` in class `Pattern`
      Returns:
        the node type

    - #### getDefaultPriority

          public double getDefaultPriority()

      Determine the default priority to use if this pattern appears as a match pattern for a template with no explicit priority attribute.
      Overrides:
        `getDefaultPriority` in class `Pattern`
