/**
* Annotation that can be used on parser methods returning {@link org.parboiled.Rule} objects.
* Instructs parboiled to not create a parse tree node for this rule. The parse tree nodes of all subrules are
* directly attached to the parent of this rule (or more correctly: the first ancestor not carrying @SkipNode).
* Note that, even though a rule carrying @SkipNode does not create a parse tree node of its own and is therefore
* "invisible" in the parse tree, the rule still exists as a regular rule in the rule tree and is accompanied by
* a "regular" rule {@link org.parboiled.Context} during rule matching.
