public:
generic <typename T>
 where T : Microsoft::CodeAnalysis::SyntaxNode T CopyAnnotationsTo(T node);

public T? CopyAnnotationsTo<T> (T? node) where T : Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.SyntaxNode;

Public Function CopyAnnotationsTo(Of T As SyntaxNode) (node As T) As T

If no annotations are copied, just returns node.

It can also be used manually to preserve annotations in a more complex tree modification, even if the type of a node changes.
