228 * * Array nodes, which also contain other nodes but aren't considered part of a tree
229 * * Leaf nodes, which contain the actual data
231 * This interface provides access to the tree structure and to the contents of array nodes,
232 * but it does not provide access to the internal structure of leaf nodes. Access to leaf
233 * data is provided via two means:
234 * * PPFrame::expand(), which provides expanded text
235 * * The PPNode::split*() functions, which provide metadata about certain types of tree node
