/**
    A powerful tree structure that can be used to hold free-form data, and which can
    handle its own undo and redo behaviour.

    A ValueTree contains a list of named properties as var objects, and also holds
    any number of sub-trees.

    Create ValueTree objects on the stack, and don't be afraid to copy them around, as
    they're simply a lightweight reference to a shared data container. Creating a copy
    of another ValueTree simply creates a new reference to the same underlying object - to
    make a separate, deep copy of a tree you should explicitly call createCopy().

    Each ValueTree has a type name, in much the same way as an XmlElement has a tag name,
    and much of the structure of a ValueTree is similar to an XmlElement tree.
    You can convert a ValueTree to and from an XmlElement, and as long as the XML doesn't
    contain text elements, the conversion works well and makes a good serialisation
    format. They can also be serialised to a binary format, which is very fast and compact.

    All the methods that change data take an optional UndoManager, which will be used
    to track any changes to the object. For this to work, you have to be careful to
    consistently always use the same UndoManager for all operations to any sub-tree inside
    the tree.

    A ValueTree can only be a child of one parent at a time, so if you're moving one from
    one tree to another, be careful to always remove it first, before adding it. This
    could also mess up your undo/redo chain, so be wary! In a debug build you should hit
    assertions if you try to do anything dangerous, but there are still plenty of ways it
    could go wrong.

    Note that although the children in a tree have a fixed order, the properties are not
    guaranteed to be stored in any particular order, so don't expect that a property's index
    will correspond to the order in which the property was added, or that it will remain
    constant when other properties are added or removed.

    Listeners can be added to a ValueTree to be told when properies change and when
    sub-trees are added or removed.

        be lost, even if other references to the same ValueTree still exist. And if you
        use the operator= to make this refer to a different ValueTree, any listeners will
        begin listening to changes to the new tree instead of the old one.

        When you're adding a listener, make sure that you add it to a ValueTree instance that
        will last for as long as you need the listener. In general, you'd never want to add a
        listener to a local stack-based ValueTree, and would usually add one to a member variable.

        The object provided must have a method of the form:
        @code
        int compareElements (const ValueTree& first, const ValueTree& second);
        @endcode

        ..and this method must return:
          - a value of < 0 if the first comes before the second
          - a value of 0 if the two objects are equivalent
          - a value of > 0 if the second comes before the first

        To improve performance, the compareElements() method can be declared as static or const.

        @param comparator   the comparator to use for comparing elements.
        @param undoManager  optional UndoManager for storing the changes
        @param retainOrderOfEquivalentItems     if this is true, then items which the comparator says are
                            equivalent will be kept in the order in which they currently appear in the array.
                            This is slower to perform, but may be important in some cases. If it's false, a
                            faster algorithm is used, but equivalent elements may be rearranged.
