 * @class TAO_Constraint_Visitor
 *
 * @brief This is the base class for all visitors who wish to preform
 * some operation from the state of the expression tree. Using
 * double dispatching, subclasses of Constraint expression call
 * back to the InterpreterVisitor subclass from the accept
 * method.
 *
 * Traversal of the expression tree uses the "Visitor"
 * pattern. To "visit" a node, a client invokes the "accept"
 * method on a subclass of ConstraintExpression, which, in turn,
 * invokes the appropriate method on the visitor passed to it,
 * based on its own type. So, the Constraint_Visitor has a
 * method to deal with each possible type of node in an
 * expression tree; one for each operator in the grammar.

 * passed to it, the operands of each operation match the
 * correct types.
 *
 * TAO_Constraint_Validator uses the visitor pattern to
 * traverse all the nodes in an expression tree, checking that
 * for each operator node the operands are of the proper data
 * type it they're literals, or that they exist in the service
 * type definition _and_ have the proper type, if they're

 * checking is as follows: ensure that operand expression(s)
 * return the correct types using expr_returns* methods. If they
 * (or it) return the correct types, call accept
 * on each operand until all return true or one returns false,
 * at which point we can back out of the traversal and indicate
