<TypeComment>
<summary>Represents a global statement in a compilation unit. Global statements are top-level statements that can appear in a C# program or script. In regular C# programs (C# 9.0+), they are synthesized into a Main method. In C# scripts, they are executed as top-level code. See https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/main/proposals/top-level-statements.md for more information.</summary>

Done in commit e0a8c9a. Added clarification that each statement at the top level of a compilation unit is wrapped in a GlobalStatementSyntax node.
