For each node, it checks the visitor argument for a method named 'visitNodeType' where NodeType is the name of the node's class, e.g. Class. If the method exists, it is called with the node as its sole argument. The visitor method for a particular node type can control how child nodes are visited during a preorder walk. (It can't control the order during a postorder walk, because it is called _after_ the walk has occurred.) The ASTVisitor modifies the visitor argument by adding a visit method to the visitor; this method can be used to visit a particular child node. If the visitor method returns a true value, the ASTVisitor will not traverse the child nodes. XXX The interface for controlling the preorder walk needs to be re-considered. The current interface is convenient for visitors that mostly let the ASTVisitor do everything. For something like a code generator, where you want to walk to occur in a specific order, it's a pain to add "return 1" to the end of each method.
