 * If the node traverser traverses a node whose value is an instance of
 * {@link \Traversable}, and if that node is either a class node or if
 * cascading is enabled, then the node's traversal strategy will be checked.
 * Depending on the requested traversal strategy, the node traverser will
 * iterate over the object and cascade each object or collection returned by
 * the iterator.
 *
 * The traversal strategy is ignored for arrays. Arrays are always iterated.
