/**

 * A skeletal visitor of types with default behavior appropriate for

 * the {@link javax.lang.model.SourceVersion#RELEASE_8 RELEASE_8}

 * source version.

 *

 * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> The {@code TypeVisitor} 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 abstract type 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.

 *

 * <p>Note that adding a default implementation of a new visit method

 * in a visitor class will occur instead of adding a <em>default

 * method</em> directly in the visitor interface since a Java SE 8

 * language feature cannot be used to this version of the API since

 * this version is required to be runnable on Java SE 7

 * implementations.  Future versions of the API that are only required

 * to run on Java SE 8 and later may take advantage of default methods

 * in this situation.

 *

 * @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 AbstractTypeVisitor6

 * @see AbstractTypeVisitor7

 * @see AbstractTypeVisitor9

 * @since 1.8
