Looking at Java (yes, we should learn from them as this is an area where
what they've got works tolerably well IME)
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/tree/TreeModel.html
we see that they do this sort of separation, keeping the auxiliary data
somewhere else (within the JTree component itself as far as I can tell).
However, I'm not at all sure that the -image is best part of the aux data.
