Uninvited Visitor

Maximilian Scherr, 2013-

An abstract visitor whose implementation can invite itself at a "host". This is just a simple implementation of a so-called runabout, a variety of a reflective visitor, or walkabout. Instead of runtime reflection, a runabout uses (run-time) code generation to create specialized dispatching code.
