  31  * A skeletal visitor of types with default behavior appropriate for
  32  * the {@link javax.lang.model.SourceVersion#RELEASE_8 RELEASE_8}
  33  * source version.
  34  *
  35  * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> The {@code TypeVisitor} interface implemented
  36  * by this class may have methods added to it in the future to
  37  * accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to
  38  * future versions of the Java&trade; programming language.
  39  * Therefore, methods whose names begin with {@code "visit"} may be
  40  * added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities,
  41  * classes which extend this class should not declare any instance
  42  * methods with names beginning with {@code "visit"}.
  43  *
  44  * <p>When such a new visit method is added, the default
  45  * implementation in this class will be to call the {@link
  46  * #visitUnknown visitUnknown} method.  A new abstract type visitor
  47  * class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language
  48  * level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the
  49  * visit method in question.  When the new visitor is introduced, all
  50  * or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.
  51  *
  52  * <p>Note that adding a default implementation of a new visit method
  53  * in a visitor class will occur instead of adding a <em>default
  54  * method</em> directly in the visitor interface since a Java SE 8
  55  * language feature cannot be used to this version of the API since
  56  * this version is required to be runnable on Java SE 7
  57  * implementations.  Future versions of the API that are only required
  58  * to run on Java SE 8 and later may take advantage of default methods
  59  * in this situation.
  60  *
  61  * @param <R> the return type of this visitor's methods.  Use {@link
  62  *            Void} for visitors that do not need to return results.
  63  * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's
  64  *            methods.  Use {@code Void} for visitors that do not need an
  65  *            additional parameter.
  66  *
  67  * @see AbstractTypeVisitor6
  68  * @see AbstractTypeVisitor7
  69  * @since 1.8
