Has anyone considered the idea of wrapping the treeview widget API
around TkTreeCtrl?  From what I can see, the advantage of treeview
is that it is pretty easy to use and the advantage of TkTreeCtrl
is that it is powerful but complex.  Seems like a simplistic API
that offers a "kinder and gentler" introduction to TkTreeCtrl is
perhaps a more strategic approach than maintaining two code bases.

Comments?
