+ * This interface should be implemented by user object to walk
+ * through {@link EditScript EditScript} objects.
+ * <p>
+ * Users should implement this interface in order to walk through
+ * the {@link EditScript EditScript} object created by the comparison
+ * of two sequences. This is a direct application of the visitor
+ * design pattern. The {@link EditScript#visit EditScript.visit}
+ * method takes an object implementing this interface as an argument,
+ * it will perform the loop over all commands in the script and the
+ * proper methods of the user class will be called as the commands are
+ * encountered.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * The implementation of the user visitor class will depend on the
+ * need. Here are two examples.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * The first example is a visitor that build the longest common
+ * subsequence:
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ * import org.apache.commons.text.diff.CommandVisitor;
+ *
+ * import java.util.ArrayList;
+ *
+ * public class LongestCommonSubSequence implements CommandVisitor {
+ *
+ *   public LongestCommonSubSequence() {
+ *     a = new ArrayList();
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   public void visitInsertCommand(Object object) {
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   public void visitKeepCommand(Object object) {
+ *     a.add(object);
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   public void visitDeleteCommand(Object object) {
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   public Object[] getSubSequence() {
+ *     return a.toArray();
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   private ArrayList a;
+ *
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * The second example is a visitor that shows the commands and the way
+ * they transform the first sequence into the second one:
+ * <pre>
+ * import org.apache.commons.text.diff.CommandVisitor;
+ *
+ * import java.util.Arrays;
+ * import java.util.ArrayList;
+ * import java.util.Iterator;
+ *
+ * public class ShowVisitor implements CommandVisitor {
+ *
+ *   public ShowVisitor(Object[] sequence1) {
+ *     v = new ArrayList();
+ *     v.addAll(Arrays.asList(sequence1));
+ *     index = 0;
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   public void visitInsertCommand(Object object) {
+ *     v.insertElementAt(object, index++);
+ *     display("insert", object);
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   public void visitKeepCommand(Object object) {
+ *     ++index;
+ *     display("keep  ", object);
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   public void visitDeleteCommand(Object object) {
+ *     v.remove(index);
+ *     display("delete", object);
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   private void display(String commandName, Object object) {
+ *     System.out.println(commandName + " " + object + ": " + this);
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   public String toString() {
+ *     StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
+ *     for (Iterator iter = v.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
+ *       buffer.append(' ').append(iter.next());
+ *     }
+ *     return buffer.toString();
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   private ArrayList v;
+ *   private int index;
+ *
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * @since 1.0

+/**
+ * This class handles sequences of replacements resulting from a comparison.
+ * <p>
+ * The comparison of two objects sequences leads to the identification of common
+ * parts and parts which only belong to the first or to the second sequence. The
+ * common parts appear in the edit script in the form of <em>keep</em> commands,
+ * they can be considered as synchronization objects between the two sequences.
+ * These synchronization objects split the two sequences in synchronized
+ * sub-sequences. The first sequence can be transformed into the second one by
+ * replacing each synchronized sub-sequence of the first sequence by the
+ * corresponding sub-sequence of the second sequence. This is a synthetic way to
+ * see an {@link EditScript edit script}, replacing individual
+ * {@link DeleteCommand delete}, {@link KeepCommand keep} and
+ * {@link InsertCommand insert} commands by fewer replacements acting on
+ * complete sub-sequences.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * This class is devoted to perform this interpretation. It visits an
+ * {@link EditScript edit script} (because it implements the
+ * {@link CommandVisitor CommandVisitor} interface) and calls a user-supplied
+ * handler implementing the {@link ReplacementsHandler ReplacementsHandler}
+ * interface to process the sub-sequences.
