	/**
	 * Sets the kind of constructs to be parsed from the source.
     * Defaults to an entire compilation unit.
	 * <p>
	 * When the parse is successful the result returned includes the ASTs for the
	 * requested source:
	 * <ul>
	 * <li>{@link #K_COMPILATION_UNIT}: The result node
	 * is a {@link CompilationUnit}.</li>
	 * <li>{@link #K_CLASS_BODY_DECLARATIONS}: The result node
	 * is a {@link TypeDeclaration} whose
	 * {@link TypeDeclaration#bodyDeclarations() bodyDeclarations}
	 * are the new trees. Other aspects of the type declaration are unspecified.</li>
	 * <li>{@link #K_STATEMENTS}: The result node is a
	 * {@link Block Block} whose {@link Block#statements() statements}
	 * are the new trees. Other aspects of the block are unspecified.</li>
	 * <li>{@link #K_EXPRESSION}: The result node is a subclass of
	 * {@link Expression Expression}. Other aspects of the expression are unspecified.</li>
	 * </ul>
	 * The resulting AST node is rooted under (possibly contrived)
	 * {@link CompilationUnit CompilationUnit} node, to allow the
	 * client to retrieve the following pieces of information 
	 * available there:
	 * <ul>
	 * <li>{@linkplain CompilationUnit#lineNumber(int) Line number map}. Line
	 * numbers start at 1 and only cover the subrange scanned
	 * (<code>source[offset]</code> through <code>source[offset+length-1]</code>).</li>
	 * <li>{@linkplain CompilationUnit#getMessages() Compiler messages}
	 * and {@linkplain CompilationUnit#getProblems() detailed problem reports}.
	 * Character positions are relative to the start of 
	 * <code>source</code>; line positions are for the subrange scanned.</li>
	 * <li>{@linkplain CompilationUnit#getCommentList() Comment list}
	 * for the subrange scanned.</li>
	 * </ul>
	 * The contrived nodes do not have source positions. Other aspects of the
	 * {@link CompilationUnit CompilationUnit} node are unspecified, including
	 * the exact arrangment of intervening nodes.
	 * </p>
	 * <p>
	 * Lexical or syntax errors detected while parsing can result in
	 * a result node being marked as {@link ASTNode#MALFORMED MALFORMED}.
	 * In more severe failure cases where the parser is unable to
	 * recognize the input, this method returns 
	 * a {@link CompilationUnit CompilationUnit} node with at least the
	 * compiler messages.
	 * </p>
	 * <p>Each node in the subtree (other than the contrived nodes) 
	 * carries source range(s) information relating back
	 * to positions in the given source (the given source itself
	 * is not remembered with the AST). 
	 * The source range usually begins at the first character of the first token 
	 * corresponding to the node; leading whitespace and comments are <b>not</b>
	 * included. The source range usually extends through the last character of
	 * the last token corresponding to the node; trailing whitespace and
	 * comments are <b>not</b> included. There are a handful of exceptions
	 * (including the various body declarations); the
	 * specification for these node type spells out the details.
	 * Source ranges nest properly: the source range for a child is always
	 * within the source range of its parent, and the source ranges of sibling
	 * nodes never overlap.
	 * </p>
	 * <p>
	 * Binding information is only computed when <code>kind</code> is 
     * <code>K_COMPILATION_UNIT</code>.
	 * </p>
	 *  
	 * @param kind the kind of construct to parse: one of 
	 * {@link #K_COMPILATION_UNIT},
	 * {@link #K_CLASS_BODY_DECLARATIONS},
	 * {@link #K_EXPRESSION},
	 * {@link #K_STATEMENTS}
