/**
 * Helper implementation for a reflective visitor.
 * Mainly for internal use within the framework.
 *
 * <p>To use, call <code>invokeVisit</code>, passing a Visitor object
 * and the data argument to accept (double-dispatch). For example:
 * 
 * <pre>
 *   public String styleValue(Object value) {
 *     reflectiveVistorSupport.invokeVisit(this, value)
 *   }
 *  
 *   // visit call back will be invoked via reflection
 *   String visit(&lt;valueType&gt; arg) {
 *     // process argument of type &lt;valueType&gt;
 *   }
 * </pre>
 *
 * See the DefaultValueStyler class for a concrete usage.
