  /**
   * A visitor of program elements, in the style of the visitor design
   * pattern.  Classes implementing this interface are used to operate
   * on an element when the kind of element is unknown at compile time.
   * When a visitor is passed to an element's {@link Element#accept

   * to that element is invoked.
   *
   * <p> Classes implementing this interface may or may not throw a
   * {@code NullPointerException} if the additional parameter {@code p}
