Description

From extension scripts, provide access to a lookup method for classes that would have been defined in the source unit.

Example, instead of doing this in the script:

context.source.AST.classes.find { it.name == 'Robot' }

Do the following with the new lookup method:

lookupClassNodeFor('Robot')
