/*
Visitor provides a call-back for every item in a collection.
This allows the implementation of the collection to hidden.

visitor1.cpp is the simplest type of visitor using templates.
The std::for_each template function that takes any kind of type.
visitor2.cpp uses the more traditional inheritance-based polymorphism.
