      <description>
        <para>The <functionname>visit_each</functionname> mechanism
        allows a visitor to be applied to every subobject in a given
        object. It was used by the Signals library to discover (now deprecated)
        <classname>signals::trackable</classname> objects within a
        function object, but other uses may surface if used
        universally (e.g., conservative garbage collection). To fit
        within the <functionname>visit_each</functionname> framework,
        a <functionname>visit_each</functionname> overload must be
        supplied for each object type. </para>
      </description>

      <effects><para><code>visitor(t)</code>, and for
      every subobject <code>x</code> of
      <code>t</code>:
        <itemizedlist>
          <listitem><para>If <code>x</code> is a reference, <code>visit_each(visitor, <functionname>ref</functionname>(x), 0)</code></para></listitem>
          <listitem><para>Otherwise, <code>visit_each(visitor, x, 0)</code></para></listitem>
        </itemizedlist>
      </para></effects>

      <notes><para>The third parameter is
      <code>long</code> for the fallback version
      of <functionname>visit_each</functionname> and the argument
      supplied to this third paramter must always be 0. The third
      parameter is an artifact of the widespread lack of proper
      function template ordering, and will be removed in the future.</para>

      <para>Library authors will be expected to add additional
      overloads that specialize the T argument for their classes, so
      that subobjects can be visited.</para>

      <para>Calls to visit_each are required to be unqualified, to
      enable argument-dependent lookup.</para></notes>
