+ * Perform a depth-first iteration over the class hierarchy, applying

+ * This class is one half of the inheritance hierarchy analysis mechanism.
+ * It is meant to be used in conjunction with another class, the algorithm,
+ * which is indicated by the ALGO template parameter.  This class can be
+ * paired with any algorithm class that provides the required methods.
+ *
+ * This class contains all the mechanics for iterating over the class hierarchy
+ * starting at a particular root, without recursing (thus limiting stack growth
+ * from this point).  It visits each superclass (if present) and superinterface
+ * in a depth-first manner, with callbacks to the ALGO class as each class is
+ * encountered (visit()), The algorithm can cut-off further exploration of a
+ * particular branch by returning 'false' from a visit() call.
+ *
+ * The ALGO class, must provide a visit() method, which each of which will be
+ * called once for each node in the inheritance tree during the iteration.  In
+ * addition, it can provide a memory block via new_node_data(InstanceKlass*),
+ * which it can use for node-specific storage (and access via the
+ * current_data() and data_at_depth(int) methods).
+ *
+ * Bare minimum needed to be an ALGO class:
+ * class Algo : public HierarchyVisitor<Algo> {
+ *   void* new_node_data(InstanceKlass* cls) { return NULL; }
+ *   void free_node_data(void* data) { return; }
+ *   bool visit() { return true; }
