/**
 * A derivation from this class can be passed to a class that implements
 * the XPathVisitable interface, to have the appropriate method called
 * for each component of the XPath.  Aside from possible other uses, the
 * main intention is to provide a reasonable means to perform expression
 * rewriting.
 *
 * <p>Each method has the form
 * <code>boolean visitComponentType(ExpressionOwner owner, ComponentType compType)</code>.
 * The ExpressionOwner argument is the owner of the component, and can
 * be used to reset the expression for rewriting.  If a method returns
 * false, the sub hierarchy will not be traversed.</p>
 *
 * <p>This class is meant to be a base class that will be derived by concrete classes,
 * and doesn't much except return true for each method.</p>
