----------------
I think the combination of these two methods is highly confusing. The name suggests that both do the same thing, just one with memoization and one without memoization, which they don't. Furthermore, the responsibilities are not clear at all. E.g. what happens if I call matchesAncestorOfRecursively() with the TUDecl? It will probably assert, as the check for that is only in memoizedMatchesAncestorOfRecursively()..

Also, it seems a bit strange, to first match all direct parents (kind of BFS) and then recursively call matchesAncestorOfRecursively() on each one (kind of DFS). Is this intended?
