/**

 * A scanning visitor of program elements with default behavior

 * appropriate for the {@link SourceVersion#RELEASE_8 RELEASE_8}

 * source version.  The <code>visit<i>Xyz</i></code> methods in this

 * class scan their component elements by calling {@code scan} on

 * their {@linkplain Element#getEnclosedElements enclosed elements},

 * {@linkplain ExecutableElement#getParameters parameters}, etc., as

 * indicated in the individual method specifications.  A subclass can

 * control the order elements are visited by overriding the

 * <code>visit<i>Xyz</i></code> methods.  Note that clients of a scanner

 * may get the desired behavior be invoking {@code v.scan(e, p)} rather

 * than {@code v.visit(e, p)} on the root objects of interest.

 *

 * <p>When a subclass overrides a <code>visit<i>Xyz</i></code> method, the

 * new method can cause the enclosed elements to be scanned in the

 * default way by calling <code>super.visit<i>Xyz</i></code>.  In this

 * fashion, the concrete visitor can control the ordering of traversal

 * over the component elements with respect to the additional

 * processing; for example, consistently calling

 * <code>super.visit<i>Xyz</i></code> at the start of the overridden

 * methods will yield a preorder traversal, etc.  If the component

 * elements should be traversed in some other order, instead of

 * calling <code>super.visit<i>Xyz</i></code>, an overriding visit method

 * should call {@code scan} with the elements in the desired order.

 *

 * <p> Methods in this class may be overridden subject to their

 * general contract.  Note that annotating methods in concrete

 * subclasses with {@link java.lang.Override @Override} will help

 * ensure that methods are overridden as intended.

 *

 * <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.

 *

 * @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.

 *

 * @see ElementScanner6

 * @see ElementScanner7

 * @see ElementScanner9
