How about deprecating branch_path and using 'head', and deprecating 'leaf' in favor of 'tail'? This replaces tree terms with list terms, since a path is a list. The way I'm used to name lists (from Haskell and others), is that a list of x has a head of type x and a tail of type 'list of x'.
Your version would turn that around, which would confuse me.
Oops, your right. 'back' would be a lot better, given the c++ precedent (std::list).
Indeed. back() is excellent. Still, does it justify breaking backwards compatibility?

If you have a better set of names, why don't you suggest them?
Ah. Well, he should've knwon better. ;-P mvh /Marcus
