///
/// \par Usage
///
/// Defining the visitable class:
/// 
/// \code
/// class RasterBitmap : public BaseVisitable<>
/// {
/// public:
///     LOKI_DEFINE_VISITABLE()
/// };
/// \endcode
///
/// Way 1 to define a visitor:
/// \code
/// class SomeVisitor : 
///     public BaseVisitor // required
///     public Visitor<RasterBitmap>,
///     public Visitor<Paragraph>
/// {
/// public:
///     void Visit(RasterBitmap&); // visit a RasterBitmap
///     void Visit(Paragraph &);   // visit a Paragraph
/// };
/// \endcode
///
/// Way 2 to define the visitor:
/// \code
/// class SomeVisitor : 
///     public BaseVisitor // required
///     public Visitor<LOKI_TYPELIST_2(RasterBitmap, Paragraph)>
/// {
/// public:
///     void Visit(RasterBitmap&); // visit a RasterBitmap
///     void Visit(Paragraph &);   // visit a Paragraph
/// };
/// \endcode
///
/// Way 3 to define the visitor:
/// \code
/// class SomeVisitor : 
///     public BaseVisitor // required
///     public Visitor<Seq<RasterBitmap, Paragraph>::Type>
/// {
/// public:
///     void Visit(RasterBitmap&); // visit a RasterBitmap
///     void Visit(Paragraph &);   // visit a Paragraph
/// };
/// \endcode
///
/// \par Using const visit functions:
///
/// Defining the visitable class (true for const):
/// 
/// \code
/// class RasterBitmap : public BaseVisitable<void, DefaultCatchAll, true>
/// {
/// public:
///     LOKI_DEFINE_CONST_VISITABLE()
/// };
/// \endcode
///
/// Defining the visitor which only calls const member functions:
/// \code
/// class SomeVisitor : 
///     public BaseVisitor // required
///     public Visitor<RasterBitmap, void, true>,
/// {
/// public:
///     void Visit(const RasterBitmap&); // visit a RasterBitmap by a const member function
/// };
/// \endcode
