In the interest of developing a clear conceptual model of Tree usage,
I
would vote for standardization of the method names. Easier, and maybe
even more important would be an explicit mention in the docs of the
concept
of the Entry and associated methods.
I suspect Rene and gang spend all too much of their valuable time
answering
questions which have been answered before and which rightly should be
documented.
