/// An operation on a type.

/// \tparam ImplClass Class implementing the operation. Must be inherited from
///         TypeVisitor.
/// \tparam RetTy %Type of result produced by the operation.
///
/// The class implements polymorphic operation on an object of type derived
/// from Type. The operation is performed by calling method Visit. It then
/// dispatches the call to function \c VisitFooType, if actual argument type
/// is \c FooType.
///
/// The class implements static polymorphism using Curiously Recurring
/// Template Pattern. It is designed to be a base class for some concrete
/// class:
///
/// \code
///     class SomeVisitor : public TypeVisitor<SomeVisitor,sometype> { ... };
///     ...
///     Type *atype = ...
///     ...
///     SomeVisitor avisitor;
///     sometype result = avisitor.Visit(atype);
/// \endcode
///
/// Actual treatment is made by methods of the derived class, TypeVisitor only
/// dispatches call to the appropriate method. If the implementation class
/// \c ImplClass provides specific action for some type, say
/// \c ConstantArrayType, it should define method
/// <tt>VisitConstantArrayType(const ConstantArrayType*)</tt>. Otherwise
/// \c TypeVisitor dispatches call to the method that handles parent type. In
/// this example handlers are tried in the sequence:
///
/// \li <tt>ImplClass::VisitConstantArrayType(const ConstantArrayType*)</tt>
/// \li <tt>ImplClass::VisitArrayType(const ArrayType*)</tt>
/// \li <tt>ImplClass::VisitType(const Type*)</tt>
/// \li <tt>TypeVisitor::VisitType(const Type*)</tt>
///
/// The first function of this sequence that is defined will handle object of
/// type \c ConstantArrayType.
