23   * <p>
24   * A class providing different algorithms for traversing a hierarchy of configuration nodes.
25   * </p>
26   * <p>
27   * The methods provided by this class accept a {@link ConfigurationNodeVisitor} and visit all nodes in a hierarchy
28   * starting from a given root node. Because a {@link NodeHandler} has to be passed in, too, arbitrary types of nodes can
29   * be processed. The {@code walk()} methods differ in the order in which nodes are visited. Details can be found in the
30   * method documentation.
31   * </p>
32   * <p>
33   * An instance of this class does not define any state; therefore, it can be shared and used concurrently. The
34   * {@code INSTANCE} member field can be used for accessing a default instance. If desired (e.g. for testing purposes),
35   * new instances can be created.
36   * </p>
