-     public class TraitTypeCheckingExtension
      extends AbstractTypeCheckingExtension

  A type checking extension that will take care of handling errors which are specific to traits. In particular, it will handle the "super" method calls within a trait.
  Since:
    2.3.0

    - #### TraitTypeCheckingExtension

          public TraitTypeCheckingExtension​(StaticTypeCheckingVisitor typeCheckingVisitor)

      Builds a type checking extension relying on a Groovy script (type checking DSL).
      Parameters:
        `typeCheckingVisitor` - the type checking visitor

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setup

          public void setup()

      Description copied from class: `TypeCheckingExtension`
      Subclasses should implement this method whenever they need to perform special checks before the type checker starts working.
      Overrides:
        `setup` in class `TypeCheckingExtension`

    - #### handleMissingMethod

          public List<MethodNode> handleMissingMethod​(ClassNode receiver,
                                                      String name,
                                                      ArgumentListExpression argumentList,
                                                      ClassNode[] argumentTypes,
                                                      MethodCall call)

      Description copied from class: `TypeCheckingExtension`
      This method is called by the type checker when a method call cannot be resolved. Extensions may override this method to handle missing methods and prevent the type checker from throwing an error.
      Overrides:
        `handleMissingMethod` in class `TypeCheckingExtension`
      Parameters:
        `receiver` - the type of the receiver
        `name` - the name of the called method
        `argumentList` - the list of arguments of the call
        `argumentTypes` - the types of the arguments of the call
        `call` - the method call itself, if needed
      Returns:
        an empty list if the extension cannot resolve the method, or a list of potential methods if the extension finds candidates. This method must not return null.
