It's not that I do not know what a visitor is, I was just curious of
the use case, given that we have done quite a bit of things without
one :).
I believe that most Visitors can be nicely implemented using class
extensions. Of course, when you have a tree and a very complex
algorithm with many variation points, then having a visitor does
improve the situation. But even then, there is no reason for not
exposing the service as an extension method that then calls the
visitor. This makes life much easier for the client because there is
no need to know how to instantiate the visitor.

Well, if a visitor has to implement many visit methods, but not all
visitors need to do something for visitable items, then it is handy
to
have a default visitor that implements all the visit methods with
empty bodies. You then simply subclass this default visitor and
override the few visit methods that you need.
There is an example in the compiler construction course.

I am curious about the use case. Could you
elaborate a bit on this
one?

I guess you mean a default visitor with empty visit methods that
can
be subclassed?
Yeah, we need that.
