/**
 * A visitor of trees, in the style of the visitor design pattern.
 * Classes implementing this interface are used to operate
 * on a tree when the kind of tree is unknown at compile time.
 * When a visitor is passed to an tree's {@link DocTree#accept
 * accept} method, the <tt>visit<i>XYZ</i></tt> method most applicable
 * to that tree is invoked.
 *
 * <p> Classes implementing this interface may or may not throw a
 * {@code NullPointerException} if the additional parameter {@code p}
 * is {@code null}; see documentation of the implementing class for
 * details.
 *
 * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> It is possible that methods will be added to
 * this interface to accommodate new, currently unknown, doc comment
 * structures added to future versions of the Java&trade; programming
 * language.  Therefore, visitor classes directly implementing this
 * interface may be source incompatible with future versions of the
 * platform.
 *
 * @param <R> the return type of this visitor's methods.  Use {@link
 *            Void} for visitors that do not need to return results.
 * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's
 *            methods.  Use {@code Void} for visitors that do not need an
 *            additional parameter.
