31 * A skeletal visitor of types with default behavior appropriate for
32 * the version 6 language level.
33 *
34 * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> The {@code TypeVisitor} interface implemented
35 * by this class may have methods added to it in the future to
36 * accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to
37 * future versions of the Java™ programming language.
38 * Therefore, methods whose names begin with {@code "visit"} may be
39 * added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities,
40 * classes which extend this class should not declare any instance
41 * methods with names beginning with {@code "visit"}.
42 *
43 * <p>When such a new visit method is added, the default
44 * implementation in this class will be to call the {@link
45 * #visitUnknown visitUnknown} method. A new abstract type visitor
46 * class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language
47 * level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the
48 * visit method in question. When the new visitor is introduced, all
49 * or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.
50 *
51 * @param <R> the return type of this visitor's methods. Use {@link
52 * Void} for visitors that do not need to return results.
53 * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's
54 * methods. Use {@code Void} for visitors that do not need an
55 * additional parameter.
