A visitor to visit a generic signature. The methods of this interface must be called in one of the three following orders (the last one is the only valid order for a SignatureVisitor that is returned by a method of this interface): 

  
ClassSignature = ( visitFormalTypeParameter visitClassBound? 
      visitInterfaceBound* )* (visitSuperclass visitInterface* ) 
MethodSignature = ( visitFormalTypeParameter visitClassBound? 
      visitInterfaceBound* )* (visitParameterType* visitReturnType 
      visitExceptionType* ) 
TypeSignature = visitBaseType | visitTypeVariable | 
      visitArrayType | ( visitClassType visitTypeArgument* ( 
      visitInnerClassType visitTypeArgument* )* visitEnd ) )
