Type Params	Return Type	Name and description
	`public TupleExpression`	`addExpression(Expression e)`

	`public List<Expression>`	`getExpressions()`
	`public GenericsType[]`	`getGenericsTypes()`
	`public Expression`	`getMethod()`
	`public String`	`getMethodAsString()` This method returns the method name as String if it is no dynamic calculated method name, but a constant.

	`public boolean`	`isSafe()` 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

    Returns:
    the target as method node if set

  - public boolean isImplicitThis()
    
    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
  - public boolean isSafe()
    
    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!
    Parameters:
    mn - the target as MethodNode, mn==null means no target
