/**
 * A visitor of annotated types, in the style of the visitor design pattern.
 *
 * <p>Classes implementing this interface are used to operate on a type when the kind of type is
 * unknown at compile time. When a visitor is passed to a type's accept method, the visitXYZ method
 * most applicable to that type is invoked.
 *
 * <p>Classes implementing this interface may or may not throw a NullPointerException if the
 * additional parameter p is {@code null}; see documentation of the implementing class for details.
 *
 * @param <R> the return type of this visitor's methods. Use Void for visitors that do not need to
 *     return results.
 * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods. Use Void for visitors
 *     that do not need an additional parameter.
