 * A "tree change" event gets delivered whenever a model changes a "bound"
 * or "constrained" tree. A TreeChangeEvent is sent as an
 * argument to the TreeChangeListener.
 * 
 * Normally a TreeChangeEvent is accompanied by the tree name and a path
 * to the part of the tree that was changed.
 * 
 * Provisional API: This class is part of an interim API that is still
 * under development and expected to change significantly before reaching
 * stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from
 * pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API
 * will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
