/**
 * 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
 * accept} method, the <code>visit<i>Xyz</i></code> method most applicable
 * to that element is invoked.
 *
 * <p> Classes implementing this interface may or may not throw a
 * {@code NullPointerException} if the additional parameter {@code p}
 * is {@code null}; see documentation of the implementing class for
 * details.
 *
 * @apiNote
 * <strong>WARNING:</strong> It is possible that methods will be added
 * to this interface to accommodate new, currently unknown, language
 * structures added to future versions of the Java programming
 * language.
 *
 * Such additions have already occurred to support language features
 * added after this API was introduced.
 *
 * Visitor classes directly implementing this interface may be source
 * incompatible with future versions of the platform.  To avoid this
 * source incompatibility, visitor implementations are encouraged to
 * instead extend the appropriate abstract visitor class that
 * implements this interface.  However, an API should generally use
 * this visitor interface as the type for parameters, return type,
 * etc. rather than one of the abstract classes.
 *
 * <p>Methods to accommodate new language constructs are expected to
 * be added as default methods to provide strong source compatibility,
 * as done for {@link visitModule visitModule} and {@link
 * visitRecordComponent visitRecordComponent}. The implementations of
 * the default methods will in turn call {@link visitUnknown
 * visitUnknown}, behavior that will be overridden in concrete
 * visitors supporting the source version with the new language
 * construct.
 *
 * <p>There are several families of classes implementing this visitor
 * interface in the {@linkplain javax.lang.model.util util
 * package}. The families follow a naming pattern along the lines of
 * {@code FooVisitor}<i>N</i> where <i>N</i> indicates the
 * {@linkplain javax.lang.model.SourceVersion source version} the
 * visitor is appropriate for.
 *
 * In particular, a {@code FooVisitor}<i>N</i> is expected to handle
 * all language constructs present in source version <i>N</i>. If
 * there are no new language constructs added in version
 * <i>N</i>&nbsp;+&nbsp;1 (or subsequent releases), {@code
 * FooVisitor}<i>N</i> may also handle that later source version; in
 * that case, the {@link
 * javax.annotation.processing.SupportedSourceVersion
 * SupportedSourceVersion} annotation on the {@code
 * FooVisitor}<i>N</i> class will indicate a later version.
 *
 * When visiting an element representing a language construct
 * introduced <strong>after</strong> source version <i>N</i>, a {@code
 * FooVisitor}<i>N</i> will throw an {@link UnknownElementException}
 * unless that behavior is overridden.
 *
 * <p>When choosing which member of a visitor family to subclass,
 * subclassing the most recent one increases the range of source
 * versions covered. When choosing which visitor family to subclass,
 * consider their built-in capabilities:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li>{@link AbstractElementVisitor6 AbstractElementVisitor}s:
 * Skeletal visitor implementations.
 *
 * <li>{@link SimpleElementVisitor6 SimpleElementVisitor}s: Support
 * default actions and a default return value.
 *
 * <li>{@link ElementKindVisitor6 ElementKindVisitor}s: Visit methods
 * provided on a {@linkplain Element#getKind per-kind} granularity as
 * some categories of elements can have more than one kind.
 *
 * <li>{@link ElementScanner6 ElementScanner}s: Scanners are visitors
 * which traverse an element and the elements {@linkplain
 * Element#getEnclosedElements enclosed} by it and associated with it.
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * @param <R> the return type of this visitor's methods.  Use {@link
 *            Void} for visitors that do not need to return results.
 * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's
 *            methods.  Use {@code Void} for visitors that do not need an
 *            additional parameter.
