We can test whether a node type exists in the grammar, by trying to compile a query using that node type. If it returns successfully, then the node type exists. But there are other assumptions we make about a grammar, like “the 2nd child of a if node must be the condition”. Hopefully these more subtle things don’t change easily, because we can’t easily test them.
