Type Params	Return Type	Name and description
	`Expression`	`getArguments()`
	`GenericsType[]`	`getGenericsTypes()`
	`Expression`	`getMethod()`
	`String`	`getMethodAsString()` This method returns the method name as String if it is no dynamic calculated method name, but a constant.
	`MethodNode`	`getMethodTarget()` @return the target as method node if set
	`Expression`	`getObjectExpression()`
	`ASTNode`	`getReceiver()`
	`String`	`getText()`
	`boolean`	`isImplicitThis()` @return true if no object expression was specified otherwise if some expression was specified for the object on which to evaluate the method then return false
	`boolean`	`isSafe()` @return is this a safe method call, i.e. if true then if the source object is null then this method call will return null rather than throwing a null pointer exception

This method returns the method name as String if it is no dynamic calculated method name, but a constant.

Returns:: true if no object expression was specified otherwise if some expression was specified for the object on which to evaluate the method then return false

Returns:: is this a safe method call, i.e. if true then if the source object is null then this method call will return null rather than throwing a null pointer exception

Sets a method call target for a direct method call. WARNING: A method call made this way will run outside of the MOP!
