Returns a list of nodes of a given class, matching a given name pattern. See children for more details on parameters.

The listchildren function is written as:

        table.insert (list, node)
    end
    return list
end


Arguments:

• node The node to iterate
• type A class the children must belong to to be visited by the iterator or "Node" if not specified
• pattern A Lua's pattern used to check the name of the node, or a function that filter the node. See Lua's pattern documentation.
