      Get a cloned AxesWalker.
      Overrides:
        `clone` in class `PredicatedNodeTest`
      Returns:
        A new AxesWalker that can be used without mutating this one.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException`

    - #### detach

          public void detach()

      Detaches the walker from the set which it iterated over, releasing any computational resources and placing the iterator in the INVALID state.

    - #### getRoot

          public int getRoot()

      The root node of the TreeWalker, as specified in setRoot(int root). Note that this may actually be below the current node.
      Returns:
        The context node of the step.

    - #### getAnalysisBits

          public int getAnalysisBits()

      Get the analysis bits for this walker, as defined in the WalkerFactory.
      Specified by:
        `getAnalysisBits` in interface `PathComponent`
      Returns:
        One of WalkerFactory#BIT_DESCENDANT, etc.

    - #### setRoot

          public void setRoot(int root)

      Set the root node of the TreeWalker. (Not part of the DOM2 TreeWalker interface).
      Parameters:
        `root` - The context node of this step.

    - #### getCurrentNode

          public final int getCurrentNode()

      The node at which the TreeWalker is currently positioned.
      The value must not be null. Alterations to the DOM tree may cause the current node to no longer be accepted by the TreeWalker's associated filter. currentNode may also be explicitly set to any node, whether or not it is within the subtree specified by the root node or would be accepted by the filter and whatToShow flags. Further traversal occurs relative to currentNode even if it is not part of the current view by applying the filters in the requested direction (not changing currentNode where no traversal is possible).
      Returns:
        The node at which the TreeWalker is currently positioned, only null if setRoot has not yet been called.

    - #### setNextWalker

          public void setNextWalker(AxesWalker walker)

      Set the next walker in the location step chain.
      Parameters:
        `walker` - Reference to AxesWalker derivative, or may be null.

    - #### getNextWalker

          public AxesWalker getNextWalker()

        Reference to AxesWalker derivative, or null.

    - #### setPrevWalker

          public void setPrevWalker(AxesWalker walker)

      Set or clear the previous walker reference in the location step chain.

          public int nextNode()

      Moves the `TreeWalker` to the next visible node in document order relative to the current node, and returns the new node. If the current node has no next node, or if the search for nextNode attempts to step upward from the TreeWalker's root node, returns `null` , and retains the current node.
      Returns:
        The new node, or `null` if the current node has no next node in the TreeWalker's logical view.

    - #### getLastPos

          public int getLastPos(XPathContext xctxt)
