- * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> The {@code ElementVisitor} 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™ programming language.
- * Therefore, methods whose names begin with {@code "visit"} may be
- * added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities,
- * classes which extend this class should not declare any instance
- * methods with names beginning with {@code "visit"}.
- *
- * <p>When such a new visit method is added, the default
- * implementation in this class will be to call the {@link
- * #visitUnknown visitUnknown} method. A new element scanner 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 the new visitor is introduced, all
- * or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.
