  35  * the {@link javax.lang.model.SourceVersion#RELEASE_6 RELEASE_6}
  36  * source version.
  37  *
  38  * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> The {@code TypeVisitor} interface implemented
  39  * by this class may have methods added to it in the future to
  40  * accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to
  41  * future versions of the Java&trade; programming language.
  42  * Therefore, methods whose names begin with {@code "visit"} may be
  43  * added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities,
  44  * classes which extend this class should not declare any instance
  45  * methods with names beginning with {@code "visit"}.
  46  *
  47  * <p>When such a new visit method is added, the default
  48  * implementation in this class will be to call the {@link
  49  * #visitUnknown visitUnknown} method.  A new abstract type visitor
  50  * class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language
  51  * level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the
  52  * visit method in question.  When the new visitor is introduced, all
  53  * or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.
  54  *
  55  * <p>Note that adding a default implementation of a new visit method
  56  * in a visitor class will occur instead of adding a <em>default
  57  * method</em> directly in the visitor interface since a Java SE 8
  58  * language feature cannot be used to this version of the API since
  59  * this version is required to be runnable on Java SE 7
  60  * implementations.  Future versions of the API that are only required
  61  * to run on Java SE 8 and later may take advantage of default methods
  62  * in this situation.
  63  *
  64  * @param <R> the return type of this visitor's methods.  Use {@link
  65  *            Void} for visitors that do not need to return results.
  66  * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's
  67  *            methods.  Use {@code Void} for visitors that do not need an
  68  *            additional parameter.
