+If the field is a `Option` and add `#[with = "visit_xxx"]` to the field, the generated code
+will try to access the field only if it is `Some`:
+
+```rust
+#[cfg_attr(feature = "visitor", derive(Visit, VisitMut))]
+pub struct ShowStatementIn {
+    pub clause: ShowStatementInClause,
+    pub parent_type: Option<ShowStatementInParentType>,
+    #[cfg_attr(feature = "visitor", visit(with = "visit_relation"))]
+    pub parent_name: Option<ObjectName>,
+}
+```
+
+This will generate
+
+```rust
+impl sqlparser::ast::Visit for ShowStatementIn {
+    fn visit<V: sqlparser::ast::Visitor>(
+        &self,
+        visitor: &mut V,
