   Eric makes some good points. Maybe making this change is more trouble than 
it is worth. The visit/accept names are after all just a convention. Some 
languages use dispatch instead of visit by convention for instance. I agree 
that using visit/visit as our convention is probably unique if not a little 
strange but most of us have become familiar with it. An alternative might be to 
just rename the parameter from visitor -> acceptedVisitor. And perhaps add some 
Groovydoc: "... accepts a visitor .." or similar.
