@defun treesit-node-match-p node thing &optional ignore-missing
This function checks whether @var{node} is a @var{thing}.
If @var{node} is a @var{thing}, return non-@code{nil}, otherwise return
@code{nil}. For convenience, if @code{node} is @code{nil}, this
function just returns @code{nil}.
The @var{thing} can be either a thing symbol like @code{defun}, or
simply a predicate that defines a thing, like
@code{"function_definition"}, or @w{@code{(or comment string)}}.
By default, if @var{thing} is undefined or malformed, this function
signals @code{treesit-invalid-predicate} error. If @var{ignore-missing}
is @code{t}, this function doesn't signal the error when @var{thing} is
undefined and just returns @code{nil}; but it still signals the error if
@var{thing} is a malformed predicate.
