29 * Superclass of exceptions which indicate that an unknown kind of
30 * entity was encountered.  This situation can occur if the language
31 * evolves and new kinds of constructs are introduced.  Subclasses of
32 * this exception may be thrown by visitors to indicate that the
33 * visitor was created for a prior version of the language.
34 *
35 * @apiNote A common superclass for exceptions specific to different
36 * kinds of unknown entities allows a single catch block to easily
37 * provide uniform handling of those related conditions.
