/**
 * <code>TreeWalker</code> objects are used to navigate a document tree or 
 * subtree using the view of the document defined by their 
 * <code>whatToShow</code> flags and filter (if any). Any function which 
 * performs navigation using a <code>TreeWalker</code> will automatically 
 * support any view defined by a <code>TreeWalker</code>.
 * <p>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 
 * <code>TreeWalker</code> view may be children of different, widely 
 * separated nodes in the original view. For instance, consider a 
 * <code>NodeFilter</code> 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.
