class XML_API TreeWalker
	/// TreeWalker objects are used to navigate a document tree or subtree using
	/// the view of the document defined by their whatToShow flags and filter (if
	/// any). Any function which performs navigation using a TreeWalker will automatically
	/// support any view defined by a TreeWalker.
	/// 
	/// Omitting nodes from the logical view of a subtree can result in a structure
	/// that is substantially different from the same subtree in the complete, unfiltered
	/// document. Nodes that are siblings in the TreeWalker view may be children
	/// of different, widely separated nodes in the original view. For instance,
	/// consider a NodeFilter that skips all nodes except for Text nodes and the
	/// root node of a document. In the logical view that results, all text nodes
	/// will be siblings and appear as direct children of the root node, no matter
	/// how deeply nested the structure of the original document.
	///
	/// A TreeWalker can be directly instantiated using one of its constructors -
	/// the DocumentTraversal interface is not needed and therefore not implemented.
	/// Unlike most other DOM classes, TreeWalker supports value semantics.
	///
	/// If the TreeWalker's current node is removed from the document, the
	/// result of calling any of the movement methods is undefined. This behavior 
	/// does not conform to the DOM Level 2 Traversal specification.

		/// NodeIterators may reject a complete subtree rather than skipping individual
		/// nodes.
		/// 
		/// To produce a view of the document that has entity references expanded and
		/// does not expose the entity reference node itself, use the whatToShow flags
		/// to hide the entity reference node and set expandEntityReferences to true
		/// when creating the iterator. To produce a view of the document that has entity
		/// reference nodes but no entity expansion, use the whatToShow flags to show

		/// root node or would be accepted by the filter and whatToShow flags. Further
