/**
 * Common infrastructure for things that lazily generate reflective generics
 * objects.
 * <p> In all these cases, one needs produce a visitor that will, on demand,
 * traverse the stored AST(s) and reify them into reflective objects.
 * The visitor needs to be initialized with a factory, which will be
 * provided when the instance is initialized.
 * The factory should be cached.
