/**
* <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.
* <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Traversal-Range-20001113'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Traversal and Range Specification</a>.
