/** A simple visitor, based upon the classic double dispatch method,
 *  for walking GrammarAST trees resulting from parsing ANTLR grammars.
 *  There is also the GrammarTreeVisitor.g tree grammar that looks for
 *  subtree patterns and fires off high-level events as opposed to
 *  "found node" events like this visitor does. Also, like all
 *  visitors, the users of this interface are required to implement
 *  the node visitation of the children. The GrammarTreeVisitor mechanism
 *  fires events and the user is not required to do any walking code.
 *
 *  GrammarAST t = ...;
 *  GrammarASTVisitor v = new ...;
 *  t.visit(v);
