/**
* A skeletal visitor of program elements with default behavior
* appropriate for the {@link SourceVersion#RELEASE_8 RELEASE_8}
* source version.
*
* WARNING: 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"}.
*
*
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 element 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.
*
*
Note that adding a default implementation of a new visit method
* in a visitor class will occur instead of adding a default
* method 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 the return type of this visitor's methods. Use {@link
* Void} for visitors that do not need to return results.
* @param the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's
* methods. Use {@code Void} for visitors that do not need an
* additional parameter.
*
* @see AbstractElementVisitor6
* @see javax.lang.model.util.AbstractElementVisitor7
* @since 1.8
