 * When the visited class hierarchy will be frequently extended with new derivatives of the Element class.
 * When the recompilation, relinking, retesting or redistribution of the derivatives of Element is very expensive.
 
+## Consequences
+The good:
+* No dependency cycles between class hierarchies.
+* No need to recompile all the visitors if a new one is added.
+* Does not cause compilation failure in existing visitors if class hierarchy has a new member.
+
+The bad:
+* Violates the principle of least surprise or Liskov's Substitution principle by showing that it can accept all visitors but actually only being interested in particular visitors.
+* Parallel hierarchy of visitors has to be created for all members in visitable class hierarchy.
