     * Used to create an event when nodes have been changed, inserted, or
     * removed, identifying the path to the parent of the modified items as
     * an array of Objects. All of the modified objects are siblings which are
     * direct descendents (not grandchildren) of the specified parent.
     * The positions at which the inserts, deletes, or changes occurred are
     * specified by an array of <code>int</code>. The indexes in that array
     * must be in order, from lowest to highest.
     * <p>
     * For changes, the indexes in the model correspond exactly to the indexes
     * of items currently displayed in the UI. As a result, it is not really
     * critical if the indexes are not in their exact order. But after multiple
     * inserts or deletes, the items currently in the UI no longer correspond
     * to the items in the model. It is therefore critical to specify the
     * indexes properly for inserts and deletes.
     * <p>
     * For inserts, the indexes represent the <i>final</i> state of the tree,
     * after the inserts have occurred. Since the indexes must be specified in
     * order, the most natural processing methodology is to do the inserts
     * starting at the lowest index and working towards the highest. Accumulate
     * a Vector of <code>Integer</code> objects that specify the
     * insert-locations as you go, then convert the Vector to an
     * array of <code>int</code> to create the event. When the postition-index
     * equals zero, the node is inserted at the beginning of the list. When the
     * position index equals the size of the list, the node is "inserted" at
     * (appended to) the end of the list.
     * <p>
     * For deletes, the indexes represent the <i>initial</i> state of the tree,
     * before the deletes have occurred. Since the indexes must be specified in
     * order, the most natural processing methodology is to use a delete-counter.
     * Start by initializing the counter to zero and start work through the
     * list from lowest to highest. Every time you do a delete, add the current
     * value of the delete-counter to the index-position where the delete occurred,
     * and append the result to a Vector of delete-locations, using
     * <code>addElement()</code>. Then increment the delete-counter. The index
     * positions stored in the Vector therefore reflect the effects of all previous
     * deletes, so they represent each object's position in the initial tree.
     * (You could also start at the highest index and working back towards the
     * lowest, accumulating a Vector of delete-locations as you go using the
     * <code>insertElementAt(Integer, 0)</code>.) However you produce the Vector
     * of initial-positions, you then need to convert the Vector of <code>Integer</code>
     * objects to an array of <code>int</code> to create the event.
     * <p>
     * <b>Notes:</b><ul style="list-style-type:none">
     * <li>Like the <code>insertNodeInto</code> method in the
     *    <code>DefaultTreeModel</code> class, <code>insertElementAt</code>
     *    appends to the <code>Vector</code> when the index matches the size
     *    of the vector. So you can use <code>insertElementAt(Integer, 0)</code>
     *    even when the vector is empty.</li>

     *     and the child indices as <code>null</code>.</li>
