816 * objects (these are the top-level nodes). The {@link tree_item::children}
817 * property may contain more tree_item objects, and so on. The tree_item class
818 * itself is abstract and not intended for use, use one of it's subclasses.
820 * Unlike {@link block_list}, the icons are specified as part of the items,
821 * not in a separate array.
