------------------------------------

    Attachment: WICKET-3229.patch

Here is an idea for Wicket 1.5.
RemovingVisit code can be merged in Visit, but adding #remove() in IVisit doesn't look nice...

> Created a Panel that provides it's own dynamically created markup stream, scans that stream for wicket:ids, and adds different components based on the id.  Recently, I've been wanting to redraw this panel via AJAX, changing the markup and adding and removing child components accordingly.
> I tried to remove multiple stale components (e.g. a component that was generated from the previous markup but doesn't exist in the new markup) using an IVisitor..
> visitChildren(new IVisitor<Component>() {
>   public Object component(Component component) {
>     if (/* component is stale */)
>       component.remove();
>     return CONTINUE_TRAVERSAL_BUT_DONT_GO_DEEPER;
> }
> The IVisitor just does a simple run through an array and removing the component adjusted the size/count of the array, messing up the traversal and preventing other components from being removed.
> Potential Solutions:
> 1.  Throw an exception if the hierarchy is modified in an IVisitor.
> 2.  Use another means of traversing the children that allows addition/removal and still ensures visiting all the children.
