darcy@1054:  * A visitor of program elements based on their {@linkplain
darcy@1054:  * ElementKind kind} with default behavior appropriate for the {@link
darcy@1054:  * SourceVersion#RELEASE_8 RELEASE_8} source version.  For {@linkplain
darcy@1054:  * Element elements} <tt><i>XYZ</i></tt> that may have more than one
darcy@1054:  * kind, the <tt>visit<i>XYZ</i></tt> methods in this class delegate
darcy@1054:  * to the <tt>visit<i>XYZKind</i></tt> method corresponding to the
darcy@1054:  * first argument's kind.  The <tt>visit<i>XYZKind</i></tt> methods
darcy@1054:  * call {@link #defaultAction defaultAction}, passing their arguments
darcy@1054:  * to {@code defaultAction}'s corresponding parameters.
darcy@1054:  *
darcy@1054:  * <p> Methods in this class may be overridden subject to their
darcy@1054:  * general contract.  Note that annotating methods in concrete
darcy@1054:  * subclasses with {@link java.lang.Override @Override} will help
darcy@1054:  * ensure that methods are overridden as intended.
darcy@1054:  *
darcy@1054:  * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> The {@code ElementVisitor} interface
darcy@1054:  * implemented by this class may have methods added to it or the
darcy@1054:  * {@code ElementKind} {@code enum} used in this case may have
darcy@1054:  * constants added to it in the future to accommodate new, currently
darcy@1054:  * unknown, language structures added to future versions of the
darcy@1054:  * Java&trade; programming language.  Therefore, methods whose names
darcy@1054:  * begin with {@code "visit"} may be added to this class in the
darcy@1054:  * future; to avoid incompatibilities, classes which extend this class
darcy@1054:  * should not declare any instance methods with names beginning with
darcy@1054:  * {@code "visit"}.
darcy@1054:  *
darcy@1054:  * <p>When such a new visit method is added, the default
darcy@1054:  * implementation in this class will be to call the {@link
darcy@1054:  * #visitUnknown visitUnknown} method.  A new abstract element kind
darcy@1054:  * visitor class will also be introduced to correspond to the new
darcy@1054:  * language level; this visitor will have different default behavior
darcy@1054:  * for the visit method in question.  When the new visitor is
darcy@1054:  * introduced, all or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.
darcy@1054:  *
darcy@1054:  * @param <R> the return type of this visitor's methods.  Use {@link
darcy@1054:  *            Void} for visitors that do not need to return results.
darcy@1054:  * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's
darcy@1054:  *            methods.  Use {@code Void} for visitors that do not need an
darcy@1054:  *            additional parameter.
darcy@1054:  *
