// Change log:
// March     20, ????: add default argument DefaultCatchAll to BaseVisitable
// June      20, 2001: ported by Nick Thurn to gcc 2.95.3. Kudos, Nick!!!
// September 28, 2004: replaced Loki:: with ::Loki:: in DEFINE_VISITABLE
// January    2, 2006: add support for visiting constant member functions, Peter K<>mmel
