   The tree.hh library for C++ provides an STL-like container class
   for n-ary trees, templated over the data stored at the
   nodes. Various types of iterators are provided (post-order,
   pre-order, and others). Where possible the access methods are
   compatible with the STL or alternative algorithms are
   available.

/** \todo 
   - New-style move members are not completely finished yet.
   - It would be good to have an iterator which can iterate over all
     nodes below a given node.
   - Fixed depth iterators do not iterate over the entire range if there
     are 'holes' in the tree.
   - If a range uses const iter_base& as end iterator, things will
     inevitably go wrong, because upcast from iter_base to a non-sibling_iter
     is incorrect. This upcast should be removed (and then all illegal uses
     as previously in 'equal' will be flagged by the compiler). This requires
     new copy constructors though.
   - There's a bug in replace(sibling_iterator, ...) when the ranges
     sit next to each other. Turned up in append_child(iter,iter)
     but has been avoided now.
   - "std::operator<" does not work correctly on our iterators, and for some
     reason a globally defined template operator< did not get picked up. 
     Using a comparison class now, but this should be investigated.
