/**
 * Based on what a {@link Type} is, dispatch it to the corresponding {@code visit*} method. By
 * default, no recursion is done for type arguments or type bounds. But subclasses can opt to do
 * recursion by calling {@link #visit} for any {@code Type} while visitation is in progress. For
 * example, this can be used to reject wildcards or type variables contained in a type as in:
 *
 * {@code
 * new TypeVisitor() {
 *   protected void visitParameterizedType(ParameterizedType t) {
 *     visit(t.getOwnerType());
 *     visit(t.getActualTypeArguments());
 *   }
 *   protected void visitGenericArrayType(GenericArrayType t) {
 *     visit(t.getGenericComponentType());
 *   }
 *   protected void visitTypeVariable(TypeVariable t) {
 *     throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cannot contain type variable.");
 *   }
 *   protected void visitWildcardType(WildcardType t) {
 *     throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cannot contain wildcard type.");
 *   }
 * }.visit(type);
 * }
 *
 * One {@code Type} is visited at most once. The second time the same type is visited, it's
 * ignored by {@link #visit}. This avoids infinite recursion caused by recursive type bounds.
 *
 * This class is not thread safe.
