/**
* A skeletal visitor for annotation values with default behavior
* appropriate for the {@link SourceVersion#RELEASE_6 RELEASE_6}
* source version.
*
* WARNING: The {@code AnnotationValueVisitor} 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 annotation
* value 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
* @param the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods.
