/**
 * A simple visitor of program elements with default behavior
 * appropriate for the {@link SourceVersion#RELEASE_7 RELEASE_7}
 * source version.
 *
 * Visit methods corresponding to {@code RELEASE_7} and earlier
 * language constructs call {@link #defaultAction defaultAction},
 * passing their arguments to {@code defaultAction}'s corresponding
 * parameters.
 *
 *  Methods in this class may be overridden subject to their
 * general contract.  Note that annotating methods in concrete
 * subclasses with {@link java.lang.Override @Override} will help
 * ensure that methods are overridden as intended.
 *
 * 
 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 simple 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 {@code 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 SimpleElementVisitor6
 * @see SimpleElementVisitor8
 * @since 1.7
