------------------------------------
We should also add VisitArrayInline and VisitScalarInline to the API.
> [C++] Document VisitArrayInline and type traits

> Key: ARROW-15975

> In ARROW-15952, we documented the {{ArrayVisitor}} and {{TypeVisitor}}
> classes. But as I discovered in [a cookbook
> PR|https://github.com/apache/arrow-cookbook/pull/166], you can't subclass
> these abstract visitors _and_ use type traits. Now I know why most visitor
> implementations within of Arrow don't subclasses these.
> We should instead suggest users simply use the {{VisitArrayInline}} and
> {{VisitTypeInline}} with their visitors, and ignore the {{ArrayVisitor}} and
> {{TypeVisitor}} classes and associated {{Accept()}} methods. In fact, can we
> deprecate (or even remove) those? Do they add anything valuable?
