* An interface that java API checkers need to implement.

* The methods on this interface are called in the following order:
*
* initialize
* setOldTypeEnvironment
* setNewTypeEnvironment
* (visitClass
* (visitClass ... visitEnd)* //inner classes
* (visitField
* visitAnnotation*
* visitEnd)*
* (visitMethod

* visitAnnotation*
* visitEnd)*
* visitAnnotation*

* Consider inheriting from the {@link org.revapi.java.spi.CheckBase} instead of directly implementing this
* interface because it takes care of matching the corresponding {@code visit*()} and {@code visitEnd()} calls.
