C# Visitor pattern compile-time safety example
// This visitor implementation attemps to make the best of both worlds, between C#'s functional features and compile-time safety.
// Using extension methods as visitors makes it a runtime error for there not to be an equivalent visitor for every subclass of the element hierarchy.
// This approach ensures compile-time safety, while minimizing boilerplate. It's a step closer to the ideal of "if it compiles, it works".

Type-safe event handler pattern. This pattern reduces the likelihood of an unhandled ``InvalidCastException`` since the ``sender`` argument of event handlers doesn't need to be casted. It also discourages the usage of closures to retrieve the sender with its original type.
