I assume this would boil down to a disagreement on what we mean by statemen=
t, and could be clarified by using whatever that definition was instead of =
"statement" or "declaration".=0A=
For example, I might broadly mean that there are expressions, statements, a=
nd statement lists in PHP, and statements can be a certain list of node typ=
es composed of statements/expressions/nodes (plus standalone expressions), =
expressions can contain expressions or statement lists, but not statements.=
 (and statement lists can contain 0 or more statements)=0A=
(e.g. closures are expressions)=0A=
=0A=
- And then there are nodes that are parts of statements/expressions but nei=
ther statements nor expressions, such as parameter declarations=0A=
- The php language specification is more complicated than that and my defin=
ition would inevitably be over-simplifying, the definition I'd meant was ht=
tps://github.com/php/php-langspec/blob/master/spec/11-statements.md=0A=
=0A=
By statement, I'd be referring to what parsers generally categorize as stat=
ements.=0A=
For example, the list of nodes in https://github.com/nikic/PHP-Parser/tree/=
master/lib/PhpParser/Node/Stmt=0A=
- This has changed in the past, e.g. the "throw expression" RFC.=0A=
- Still, I'd believe the attributes would be metadata associated with a cla=
ss statement, a method/function statement, a parameter node, or a closure d=
eclaration expression=0A=
=0A=
