//
// = DESCRIPTION
//    This class serves to provide all the necessary context information to the
//    visitor as it generates code. This may include the scope inside which the
//    code is generated, the output file that is being used, and others. This
//    context information will be passed to the abstract/concrete visitor
//    factory which in turn will use it to construct the right visitor.
