public abstract class LabelSubstitution
extends java.lang.Object

The class is a simple Label visitor. It can be used to substitute and check labels and principals. All labels and principals implement a method subst(LabelSubstitution).

In addition, the LabelSubstitution keeps a stack of labels, to record which labels it is in the middle of processing. Labels that recurse on nested labels must push themselves onto the stack before the recursive call, and pop themselves off the stack after the recursive call. Prior to pushing themselves on the stack, labels should examine the stack to see if they already exist in the stack; if so, then the label should not make a recursive call, in order to avoid an infinite loop.
