/** This interface is used to visit {@link BSPTree BSP tree} nodes.

 * <p>Navigation through {@link BSPTree BSP trees} can be done using
 * two different point of views:</p>
 * <ul>
 *   <li>
 *     the first one is in a node-oriented way using the {@link
 *     BSPTree#getPlus}, {@link BSPTree#getMinus} and {@link
 *     BSPTree#getParent} methods. Terminal nodes without associated
 *     {@link SubHyperplane sub-hyperplanes} can be visited this way,
 *     there is no constraint in the visit order, and it is possible
 *     to visit either all nodes or only a subset of the nodes
 *   </li>
 *   <li>
 *     the second one is in a sub-hyperplane-oriented way using
 *     classes implementing this interface which obeys the visitor
 *     design pattern. The visit order is provided by the visitor as
 *     each node is first encountered. Each node is visited exactly
 *     once.
 *   </li>
 * </ul>
