I am ignorant of software development, but I have this comment on grammar: I would guess that "hierarchical visitor pattern" means either

A visitor pattern that is hierarchical

or

A pattern that involves a "hierarchical visitor".

I don't know which it is. But if the latter, then there should be a hyphen, thus: "hierarchical-visitor pattern". If the former, then there should be no hyphen. -- Mike Hardy

See the definition in the article about my understanding. I think the grammar is incorrect. But I think it happens frequently in computer science, so it may be okay. -- Taku 22:14 Jan 3, 2003 (UTC)

As I understand it, a "normal" visitor pattern is already hierarchical and works on structures like trees. So what is special about hierarchical visitor patterns?

The article originally contained a load of material copied from somewhere else. That has been removed, and now the article is vacuous. Leibniz 19:11, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK. How do we propose this page for deletion, then? (Somebody who knows wikipedia better than me, please help.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.81.170.62 (talk) 23:20, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
