            Represents a file in the project.
This class contains all structural elements of the file it represents. In most modern projects a file will contain a single element like a Class, Interface or Trait, sometimes multiple functions. Depending on the config settings of the parsed project it might include all source code from the file in the project.
Interfaces, Classes and Traits
- FileInterface
 - Describes the public interface for a description of a File.

Methods
__call()
Dynamically constructs a set of getters to retrieve tag (collections) with.
    public
                __call(string $name, array<string|int, mixed> $arguments) : Collection<string|int, TagDescriptor>|null
        Important: __call() is not a fast method of access; it is preferred to directly use the getTags() collection. This interface is provided to allow for uniform and easy access to certain tags.
