/**
 * The model for a single node supplying a hierarchy of values to a control such
 * as {@link TreeView}. The model may be implemented such that values may be loaded in
 * memory as they are needed.
 * <p>
 * The model allows registration of listeners which will be notified as the
 * number of items changes, their position or if the values themselves change.
 * Note however that a TreeItem is <b>not</b> a Node, and therefore no visual
 * events will be fired on the TreeItem. To get these events, it is necessary to
 * add relevant observers to the TreeCell instances (via a custom cell factory -
 * see the {@link Cell} class documentation for more details).
 *
 * <p>In the simplest case, TreeItem instances may be created in memory as such:
 * <pre><code>
 * TreeItem&lt;String&gt; root = new TreeItem&lt;String&gt;("Root Node");
 * root.setExpanded(true);
 * root.getChildren().addAll(
 *     new TreeItem&lt;String&gt;("Item 1"),
 *     new TreeItem&lt;String&gt;("Item 2"),
 *     new TreeItem&lt;String&gt;("Item 3")
 * );
 * TreeView&lt;String&gt; treeView = new TreeView&lt;String&gt;(root);
 * </code></pre>
 *
 * This approach works well for simple tree structures, or when the data is not
 * excessive (so that it can easily fit in memory). In situations where the size
 * of the tree structure is unknown (and therefore potentially huge), there is
 * the option of creating TreeItem instances on-demand in a memory-efficient way.
 * To demonstrate this, the code below creates a file system browser:
 *
 * <pre><code>
 *  private TreeView buildFileSystemBrowser() {
 *      TreeItem&lt;File&gt; root = createNode(new File("/"));
 *      return new TreeView&lt;File&gt;(root);
 *  }
 *
 *  // This method creates a TreeItem to represent the given File. It does this
 *  // by overriding the TreeItem.getChildren() and TreeItem.isLeaf() methods
 *  // anonymously, but this could be better abstracted by creating a
 *  // 'FileTreeItem' subclass of TreeItem. However, this is left as an exercise
 *  // for the reader.
 *  private TreeItem&lt;File&gt; createNode(final File f) {
 *      return new TreeItem&lt;File&gt;(f) {
 *          // We cache whether the File is a leaf or not. A File is a leaf if
 *          // it is not a directory and does not have any files contained within
 *          // it. We cache this as isLeaf() is called often, and doing the
 *          // actual check on File is expensive.
 *          private boolean isLeaf;
 *
 *          // We do the children and leaf testing only once, and then set these
 *          // booleans to false so that we do not check again during this
 *          // run. A more complete implementation may need to handle more
 *          // dynamic file system situations (such as where a folder has files
 *          // added after the TreeView is shown). Again, this is left as an
 *          // exercise for the reader.
 *          private boolean isFirstTimeChildren = true;
 *          private boolean isFirstTimeLeaf = true;
 *
 *          &#064;Override public ObservableList&lt;TreeItem&lt;File&gt;&gt; getChildren() {
 *              if (isFirstTimeChildren) {
 *                  isFirstTimeChildren = false;
 *
 *                  // First getChildren() call, so we actually go off and
 *                  // determine the children of the File contained in this TreeItem.
 *                  super.getChildren().setAll(buildChildren(this));
 *              }
 *              return super.getChildren();
 *          }

 *                  File f = (File) getValue();
 *                  isLeaf = f.isFile();
 *              }
 *
 *              return isLeaf;
 *          }
 *
 *          private ObservableList&lt;TreeItem&lt;File&gt;&gt; buildChildren(TreeItem&lt;File&gt; TreeItem) {
 *              File f = TreeItem.getValue();
 *              if (f != null &amp;&amp; f.isDirectory()) {
 *                  File[] files = f.listFiles();

 *                      ObservableList&lt;TreeItem&lt;File&gt;&gt; children = FXCollections.observableArrayList();

 *                          children.add(createNode(childFile));

 *
 * <strong>TreeItem Events</strong>
 * <p>TreeItem supports the same event bubbling concept as elsewhere in the
 * scenegraph. This means that it is not necessary to listen for events on all
 * TreeItems (and this is certainly not encouraged!). A better, and far more low
 * cost solution is to instead attach event listeners to the TreeView
 * {@link TreeView#rootProperty() root} item. As long as there is a path between
 * where the event occurs and the root TreeItem, the event will be bubbled to the
 * root item.
 *
 * <p>It is important to note however that a TreeItem is <strong>not</strong> a
 * Node, which means that only the event types defined in TreeItem will be
 * delivered. To listen to general events (for example mouse interactions), it is
 * necessary to add the necessary listeners to the {@link Cell cells} contained
 * within the TreeView (by providing a {@link TreeView#cellFactoryProperty()
 * cell factory}).
 *
 * <p>The TreeItem class defines a number of events, with a defined hierarchy. These
 * are shown below (follow the links to learn more about each event type):
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>{@link TreeItem#treeNotificationEvent() TreeItem.treeNotificationEvent()}
 *   <ul>
 *     <li>{@link TreeItem#valueChangedEvent() TreeItem.valueChangedEvent()}</li>
 *     <li>{@link TreeItem#graphicChangedEvent() TreeItem.graphicChangedEvent()}</li>
 *     <li>{@link TreeItem#expandedItemCountChangeEvent() TreeItem.expandedItemCountChangeEvent()}
 *     <ul>
 *       <li>{@link TreeItem#branchExpandedEvent() TreeItem.branchExpandedEvent()}</li>
 *       <li>{@link TreeItem#branchCollapsedEvent() TreeItem.branchCollapsedEvent()}</li>
 *       <li>{@link TreeItem#childrenModificationEvent() TreeItem.childrenModificationEvent()}</li>
 *     </ul>
 *     </li>
 *   </ul>
 *   </li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>The indentation shown above signifies the relationship between event types.
 * For example, all TreeItem event types have
 * {@link TreeItem#treeNotificationEvent() treeNotificationEvent()} as their
 * parent event type, and the branch
 * {@link TreeItem#branchExpandedEvent() expand} /
 * {@link TreeItem#branchCollapsedEvent() collapse} event types are both
 * {@link TreeItem#treeNotificationEvent() treeNotificationEvent()}. For
 * performance reasons, it is encouraged to listen
 * to only the events you need to listen to. This means that it is encouraged
 * that it is better to listen to, for example,
 * {@link TreeItem#valueChangedEvent() TreeItem.valueChangedEvent()},
 * rather than {@link TreeItem#treeNotificationEvent() TreeItem.treeNotificationEvent()}.
 *
 * @param <T> The type of the {@link #getValue() value} property within TreeItem.
