 * A visitor of property definitions, in the style of the visitor design

 * method, the corresponding visit method most applicable to that property
 * definition is invoked.
 * <p>
 * Each <code>visitXXX</code> method is provided with a default implementation
 * which calls {@link #visitUnknown(PropertyDefinition, Object)}. Sub-classes
 * can override any or all of the methods to provide their own type-specific
 * behavior.

 *            results.
 * @param <P>
 *            The type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods.
 *            Use {@link java.lang.Void} for visitors that do not need an
