+class ASTVisitor:
+ """Performs a depth-first walk of the AST
+
+ The ASTVisitor will walk the AST, performing either a preorder or
+ postorder traversal depending on which method is called.
+
+ methods:
+ preorder(tree, visitor)
+ postorder(tree, visitor)
+ tree: an instance of ast.Node
+ visitor: an instance with visitXXX methods
+
+ The ASTVisitor is responsible for walking over the tree in the
+ correct order. 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.
