/// A trait for visiting the high-level IR (HIR) in depth first order.
///
/// The principle aim of this trait is to enable callers to perform case
/// analysis on a high-level intermediate representation of a regular
/// expression without necessarily using recursion. In particular, this permits
/// callers to do case analysis with constant stack usage, which can be
/// important since the size of an HIR may be proportional to end user input.
///
/// Typical usage of this trait involves providing an implementation and then
/// running it using the [`visit`](fn.visit.html) function.
pub trait Visitor {
    /// The result of visiting an HIR.
    type Output;
    /// An error that visiting an HIR might return.
    type Err;

    /// All implementors of `Visitor` must provide a `finish` method, which
    /// yields the result of visiting the HIR or an error.

    /// nodes.

/// Executes an implementation of `Visitor` in constant stack space.
///
/// This function will visit every node in the given `Hir` while calling
/// appropriate methods provided by the
/// [`Visitor`](trait.Visitor.html) trait.

/// analysis over an `Hir` without using a stack size proportional to the depth
/// of the `Hir`. Namely, this method will instead use constant stack space,
/// but will use heap space proportional to the size of the `Hir`. This may be
/// desirable in cases where the size of `Hir` is proportional to end user
/// input.

/// the error is returned.
