/** Keeps track of methods which are attached to a particular Action
    type for a given set of Node types. This mechanism is different
    than using the typical Visitor design pattern because Actions,
    even built-in Actions, need to easily support the addition of
    newly added Node types. Dispatch occurs via reflection on a
    per-Node-type basis. */

  /** Adds an action method for a particular node type to this
      table. This method will apply to this type and all subtypes
      unless one is added for a more specific subtype. An action
      method is defined as a public static method with the following
      signature: <P>

      <CODE>public static void [method name]([Action subclass] action, [Node subclass] node)</CODE> <P>

      The action subclass may be the action class this ActionTable was
      created with, or any supertype up to and including the Action
      class. This avoids unnecessary downcasting of the Action in
      action methods. <P>

      The node subclass may be the node type which is passed in to the
      addActionMethod call, or any supertype up to and including the
      Node class. This allows convenient overloading of action
      methods. <P>

      Note that it does not matter which type the action method is
      attached to. This is a key mechanism for extensibility; new
      action methods can be attached to existing action types to
      handle new node types which are added to the system. <P>

      An action uses reflection to dispatch to these methods at run
      time, caching lookup results for node types which have not been
      encountered yet.
