/// Recursive AST visitor that supports extension via dynamic dispatch.
///
/// Like RecursiveASTVisitor, this class allows for traversal of arbitrarily
/// complex ASTs. The main difference is that this uses virtual functions
/// instead of CRTP, which greatly improves compile times of Clang itself,
/// as well as binary size.
///
/// Instead of functions (e.g. shouldVisitImplicitCode()), this class
/// uses member variables (e.g. ShouldVisitImplicitCode) to control
/// visitation behaviour.
///
/// However, there is no support for overriding some of the less commonly
/// used features of the RAV, such as WalkUpFromX or attribute traversal
/// (attributes can still be traversed, but you can't change what happens
/// when we traverse one).
///
/// The following is a list of RAV features that are NOT customisable:
///
///   - Visiting attributes,
///   - Overriding WalkUpFromX,
///   - Overriding getStmtChildren().
///
/// Furthermore, post-order traversal is not supported at all.
///
/// Prefer to use this over RecursiveASTVisitor unless you absolutely
/// need to use one of the features listed above (e.g. overriding
/// WalkUpFromX or post-order traversal).
///
/// \see RecursiveASTVisitor.
