While you could put the logic in `visit` into an instance method of the visitor (or other places) I think it is important to have that traversal logic in only one place across visitors with the same pattern (i.e. `TypeWithSchemaVisitor`). If we allow customization of the `visit` method, I think we would soon defeat the purpose of the visitors. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
