 * @apiNote
 * <p id=note_for_subclasses><strong>WARNING:</strong> The {@code
 * AnnotationValueVisitor} interface implemented by this class may
 * have methods added to it in the future to accommodate new,
 * currently unknown, language structures added to future versions of
 * the Java&trade; programming language.  Therefore, methods whose
 * names begin with {@code "visit"} may be added to this class in the
 * future; to avoid incompatibilities, classes and subclasses which
 * extend this class should not declare any instance methods with
 * names beginning with {@code "visit"}.</p>
 *
 * <p>When such a new visit method is added, the default
 * implementation in this class will be to directly or indirectly call
 * the {@link #visitUnknown visitUnknown} method.  A new abstract
 * annotation value visitor class will also be introduced to
 * correspond to the new language level; this visitor will have
 * different default behavior for the visit method in question.  When
 * a new visitor is introduced, portions of this visitor class may be
 * deprecated, including its constructors.
 *
 * @param <R> the return type of this visitor's methods
 * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods.
