Review comment:
       That's right with this current design the visitor doesn't manipulate 
`node` but it accumulates state as it visits different parts of the schema. I'm 
wondering if it would be too strict to require concrete visitors to store the 
state in an attribute specifically called `result` but if that's ok then I can 
actually make this an ABC class which would enforce it. (A child class would 
still be allowed to have arguments in addition to `node` if needed):
   ```py
   from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
   
   class SchemaVisitor(ABC):
   
       @abstractmethod
       def visit(self, node) -> None:
           ...
   
       @property
       @abstractmethod
       def result(self):
           ...
   ```
   Let me know what you think.
