    A visitor of module directives, in the style of the visitor design pattern. Classes implementing this interface are used to operate on a directive when the kind of directive is unknown at compile time. When a visitor is passed to a directive's 
accept method, the visitXyz method applicable
to that directive is invoked.
 Classes implementing this interface may or may not throw a NullPointerException if the additional parameter p is null; see documentation of the implementing class for details. 
 WARNING: It is possible that methods will be added to
this interface to accommodate new, currently unknown, language
structures added to future versions of the Java™ programming
language. Methods to accommodate new language constructs will
be added in a source compatible way using
default methods.
Type parameters: <R> – the return type of this visitor's methods. Use Void for visitors that do not need to return results.
<P> – the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods. Use Void for visitors that do not need an additional parameter.
