What is the rationale for using the word "property" here?
Why is this data structure not a more generic tree? It seems as though forcing the data on a tree node to be a specialization of basic_string is needlessly limiting.
That reminds me of Dave Handley's implementation of a composite pattern library, see http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/2301865 Maybe it would be harder to implement all the file read/write functions with this one, though. -- Klaus Nowikow
