      Description

        When visitModule as added to ElementVisitor (JDK-8142968), it was added as a normal abstract interface method. This approach was necessary in Java SE 8 since the package in question is built under the previously JDK during the bootstrap process. For 9, better source compatibility would come from using a default method here.

        Likewise, several convenience methods in the visitors can be upgraded to default methods.
