-% \section{Introduction}
-%
-% Over several years, I had been a grateful user of various packages
-% for typesetting linguistic trees.  My main experience was with
-% |qtree| and |synttree|, but as far as I can tell, all of the tools
-% on the market had the same problem: sometimes, the trees were just
-% too wide.  They looked something like the tree on the left,
-% while I wanted something like the tree on the right.
-% \begin{center}
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     baseline,
-%     for tree={parent anchor=south,child anchor=north,l=7ex,s sep=10pt},
-%     for children={fit=rectangle}
-%     [CP
-%       [DP
-%         [D][NP[N][CP[C][TP[T][vP[v][VP[DP][V'[V][DP]]]]]]]]
-%       [TP
-%         [T][vP[v][VP[DP][V'[V][DP]]]]]
-%     ]

-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{center}
-%
-% Luckily, it was possible to tweak some parameters by hand to get a
-% narrower tree, but as I quite dislike constant manual adjustments, I
-% eventually started to develop \foRest;.  It started out as
-% xyforest, but lost the xy prefix as I became increasingly fond
-% of \PGF;/\TikZ;, which offered not only a drawing package but also a
-% `programming paradigm.'  It is due to the awesome power of the
-% supplementary facilities of \PGF;/\TikZ; that \foRest; is now, I
-% believe, the most flexible tree typesetting package for \LaTeX\ you can get. 
-% 
-% After all the advertising, a disclaimer.  Although the present version
-% is definitely usable (and has been already used), the package and
-% its documentation are still under development: comments, criticism,
-% suggestions and code are all very welcome!
-%
-% \FoRest; is \href{http://www.ctan.org/pkg/forest}{available} at \href{http://www.ctan.org}{CTAN},
-% and I have also started a \href{https://github.com/sasozivanovic/forest-styles}{style repository}

-% \subsection{Basic usage}
-% \label{sec:basic-usage}
-%
-% A tree is input by enclosing its specification in a \ikeyname{forest}
-% environment.  The tree is encoded by \emph{the bracket syntax}:
-% every node is enclosed in square brackets; the children of a
-% node are given within its brackets, after its content.

-%     ]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}}
-% Binary trees are nice, but not the only thing this package can draw.
-% Note that by default, the children are vertically centered with
-% respect to their parent, i.e.\ the parent is vertically aligned with the midpoint between the
-% first and the last child.

-% If you need a square bracket as part of a node's content, use

 % 
-% All the examples given above produced top-down trees with centered
-% children.  The other sections of this manual explain how various
-% properties of a tree can be changed, making it possible to typeset
-% radically different-looking trees.  However, you don't have to learn
-% everything about this package to profit from its power.  Using
-% styles, you can draw predefined types of trees with ease.  For
-% example, a phonologist can use the \ikeyname{GP1} style from \S\ref{sec:gallery} to easily typeset
-% (Government Phonology) phonological 
-% representations.  The style is applied simply by writing its name
-% before the first (opening) bracket of the tree.
-% \begin{forestexample}[label=ex:gp1-frost]

-%     [O[x[t]]]

-%   ]\end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% Of course, someone needs to develop the style --- you, me, your
-% local \TeX nician \dots\@ Furtunately, designing styles is not very
-% difficult once you know your \foRest; options.  If you write one,
-% please contribute!
-%
-% I have started a \href{https://github.com/sasozivanovic/forest-styles}{style repository} at
-% GitHub.  Hopefully, it will grow \dots\@ Check it out, download the styles \dots\ and contribute
-% them! 
-%
-% \subsection{Options}
-% \label{sec:options}
-% 
-% A node can be given various options, which control various
-% properties of the node and the tree.  For example, at the end of
-% section~\ref{sec:basic-usage}, we have seen that the \ikeyname{GP1} style
-% vertically aligns the parent with the first
-% child.  This is achieved by setting option \ikeyname{calign} (for
-% \emph{c}hild-\emph{align}ment) to \ikeyname{first,aspect=calign} (child).
-%
-% Let's try.  Options are given inside the brackets, following the
-% content, but separated from it by a comma.  (If multiple options are
-% given, they are also separated by commas.)  A single option
-% assignment takes the form \meta{option name}|=|\meta{option value}.  (There are
-% also options which do not require a value or have a default value:
-% these are given simply as \meta{option name}.)
-% \begin{forestexample}[label=ex:numerals-simple,ekeynames={calign,{first,aspect=calign}}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     [\LaTeX\ numerals, ~calign=first~
-%       [arabic[1][2][3][4]]
-%       [roman[i][ii][iii][iv]]
-%       [alph[a][b][c][d]]
-%     ]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-%
-% The experiment has succeeded only partially.  The root node's
-% children are aligned as desired (so \ikeyname{calign}|=|\ikeyname{first,aspect=calign} applied to the
-% root node), but the value of the \ikeyname{calign} option didn't get
-% automatically assigned to the root's children! \emph{An option given
-% at some node applies only to that node.} In \foRest;, the options
-% are passed to the node's relatives via special options, called
-% \emph{propagators}.  (We'll
-% call the options that actually change some property of the node
-% \emph{node options}.) What we need above is the \ikeyname{for tree} propagator.  Observe:
-% \begin{forestexample}[label=ex:numerals-manual]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     [\LaTeX\ numerals,
-%          ~for tree~={calign=first}
-%       [arabic[1][2][3][4]]
-%       [roman[i][ii][iii][iv]]
-%       [alph[a][b][c][d]]
-%     ]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% The value of propagator \ikeyname{for tree} is the option string that we
-% want to process.  This option string is propagated to all the nodes in
-% the subtree\footnote{It might be more precise to call this option
-% \texttt{for subtree} \dots\@ but this name at least saves some typing.}
-% rooted in the current node (i.e.\ the node where \ikeyname{for tree} was
-% given), including the node itself.  (Propagator \ikeyname{for descendants} is
-% just like \ikeyname{for tree}, only that it excludes the node itself.  There
-% are many other \ikeyname{id={{for }}}|...| propagators; for the complete list, see
-% sections~\ref{ref:propagators} and \ref{ref:node-walk}.)

 %
-% Some other useful options are \ikeyname{parent anchor}, \ikeyname{child anchor}
-% and \ikeyname{tier}.  The \ikeyname{parent anchor} and \ikeyname{child anchor} options tell
-% where the parent's and child's endpoint of the edge between them
-% should be, respectively: usually, the value is either empty
-% (meaning a smartly determined border point \citep[see][\S16.11]{tikzpgf2.10};  this is the default)
-% or a compass direction \citep[see][\S16.5.1]{tikzpgf2.10}.  (Note: the \ikeyname{parent anchor}
-% determines where the
-% edge from the child will arrive to this node, not where the node's
-% edge to its parent will start!)
-%
-% Option \ikeyname{tier} is what makes the
-% skeletal points $\times$ in example \ref{ex:gp1-frost} align horizontally although they
-% occur at different levels in the logical structure of the tree.
-% Using option \ikeyname{tier} is very simple: just set |tier=tier_name| at
-% all the nodes that you want to align horizontally.  Any tier name
-% will do, as long as the tier names of different tiers are
-% different \dots\@ (Yes, you can have multiple tiers!)
-% \begin{forestexample}[point={tier},ekeynames={parent anchor,child anchor,tier},label=ex:tier-manual]
-%   \begin{forest} 
-%     [VP, for tree={~parent anchor~=south, ~child anchor~=north}
-%       [DP[John,tier=word]]
-%       [V'
-%         [V[sent,tier=word]]

-%         [DP[D[a,tier=word]][NP[letter,tier=word]]]
-%       ]
-%     ]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% Before discussing the variety of \foRest;'s options, it is worth
-% mentioning that \foRest;'s node accepts all options \citep[see
-% \S16]{tikzpgf2.10} that \TikZ;'s node does --- mostly, it just passes
-% them on to \TikZ;.  For example, you can easily encircle a node like
-% this:\footnote{If option \texttt{draw} was not given, the shape of the node
-% would still be circular, but the edge would not be drawn.  For
-% details, see \cite[\S16]{tikzpgf2.10}.}
-% \begin{forestexample}
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     [VP,~circle~,~draw~
-%       [DP][V'[V][DP]]
-%     ]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% 
-% Let's have another look at example \ref{ex:gp1-frost}.  You will note that the skeletal
-% positions were input by typing |x|s, while the result looks like
-% this: $\times$ (input as |\times| in math mode). Obviously, the
-% content of the node can be changed.  Even more, it can be
-% manipulated: added to, doubled, boldened, emphasized, etc.  We will
-% demonstrate this by making example \ref{ex:numerals-manual} a bit
-% fancier: we'll write the input in the arabic numbers and have
-% \LaTeX\ convert it to the other formats.  We'll start with the
-% easiest case of roman numerals: to get them, we can use the (plain)
-% \TeX\ command |\romannumeral|.  To change the content of the node,
-% we use option \ikeyname{content}.  When specifying its new value, we can use
-% |#1| to insert the current content.\footnote{This mechanism is called
-% \emph{wrapping}. \ikeyname{content} is the only option where wrapping works implicitely (simply
-% because I assume that wrapping will be almost exclusively used with this option).  To wrap values
-% of other options, use handler \ikeyname{id=.wrap value,nfc}; see~\S\ref{ref:handlers}.}
-% \begin{forestexample}[point={content,delay},ekeynames={for children,content,delay},label=ex:romannumeral]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     [roman, delay={for children={content=\romannumeral#1}}
-%       [1][2][3][4]
-%     ]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% This example introduces another option: \ikeyname{delay}.  Without it, the
-% example wouldn't work: we would get arabic numerals.  This is so
-% because of the order in which the options are processed.  The
-% processing proceeds through the tree in a depth-first, parent-first fashion (first
-% the parent is processed, and then its children, recursively).  The option string of a node is
-% processed linearly, in the order they were given.  (Option \keyname{content}
-% is specified implicitely and is always the first.) If a propagator
-% is encountered, the options given as its value are propagated \emph{immediately}.  The net effect
-% is that if the 
-% above example contained simply |roman,for_children={content=...}|, the
-% \keyname{content} option given there would be processed \emph{before} the
-% implicit content options given to the children (i.e.\ numbers |1|,
-% |2|, |3| and |4|).  Thus, there would be nothing for the
-% |\romannumeral| to change --- it would actually crash; more generally, the content assigned
-% in such a way would get overridden by the implicit content.  Option
-% \ikeyname{delay} is true to its name.  It delays the processing of its option
-% string argument until the whole tree was processed.  In other words,
-% it introduces cyclical option processing.  Whatever is delayed in
-% one cycle, gets processed in the next one.  The number of cycles is
-% not limited --- you can nest \ikeyname{delay}s as deep as you need.
-%
-% Unlike \ikeyname{id={{for }}}|_...| options we have met before, option \ikeyname{delay} is not a
-% spatial, but a temporal propagator.  Several other temporal propagators options exist, see
-% \S\ref{ref:stages}.
-%
-% We are now ready to learn about simple conditionals.  Every node option has the corresponding
-% \ikeyname{id={{if }}}|...| and \ikeyname{id={{where }}}|...| keys.
-% \ikeyname{id={{if }}}\meta{option}|=|\meta{value}\meta{true options}\meta{false options} checks whether
-% the value of \meta{option} equals \meta{value}.  If so, \meta{true options} are
-% processed, otherwise \meta{false options}.  The \ikeyname{id={{where }}}|_...| keys are
-% the same, but do this for the every node in the subtree; informally
-% speaking, |where| = |for_tree| + |if|.  To see this in action,
-% consider the rewrite of the \ikeyname{tier} example \ref{ex:tier-manual} from above.  We don't set
-% the tiers manually, but rather put the terminal nodes (option
-% \ikeyname{n children} is a read-only option containing the number
-% of children) on tier \keyname{word}.\footnote{We could omit the braces around \texttt{0} because
-% it is a single character. If we were hunting for nodes with 42 children, we'd have to write 
-% \texttt{where n children=\{42\}...}.}

-% Finally, let's talk about styles. Styles are simply collections of
-% options.  (They are not actually defined in the \foRest; package, but
-% rather inherited from |pgfkeys|.)  If you often want to have non-default 
-% parent/child anchors, say south/north as in example \ref{ex:tier-manual}, you would save some
-% typing by defining a style.  Styles are defined using \PGF;'s handler 
-% |.style|. (In the example below, style |ns_edges| is first defined and then used.)
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={tier,parent anchor,child anchor}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     ~sn edges~/~.style~={for tree={
-%             parent anchor=south, child anchor=north}},

-%         [DP[D[a,tier=word]][NP[letter,tier=word]]]]]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% If you want to use a style in more than one tree, you have to define it outside the \ikeyname{forest}
-% environment.  Use macro \icmdname{forestset} to do this.
-% \begin{lstlisting}
-%   ~\forestset~{
-%     sn edges/.style={for tree={parent anchor=south, child anchor=north}},

-%                 text opacity=0.2,draw opacity=0.2,edge={draw opacity=0.2}}}
-%   }
-% \end{lstlisting}
-%
-% You might have noticed that the last two examples contain options (actually, keys) even before the
-% first opening bracket, contradicting was said at the beginning of this section.  This is mainly
-% just syntactic sugar (it can separate the design and the content): such preamble
-% keys behave as if they were given in the root node, the only difference (which often does not
-% matter) being that they get processed before all other root node options, even the implicit
-% content.
-% 
-% \subsection{Decorating the tree}
-% \label{sec:decorating}
-%
-% The tree can be decorated (think movement arrows) with arbitrary
-% \TikZ; code.
-% \begin{forestexample}
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     [XP
-%       [specifier]

-%       {\emph{Figure 1: The X' template}};~
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% 
-% However, decorating the tree would make little sense if one could
-% not refer to the nodes.  The simplest way to do so is to give them a
-% \TikZ; name using the \ikeyname{name} option, and then use this name in \TikZ;
-% code as any other (\TikZ;) node name.
-% \begin{forestexample}[point=name,ekeynames={phantom,name}]

-%     \draw[->,dotted] ~(object)~ to[out=south west,in=south] ~(spec CP)~;
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% 
-% It gets better than this, however! In the previous examples, we put
-% the \TikZ; code after the tree specification, i.e.\ after the closing
-% bracket of the root node.  In fact, you can put \TikZ; code after
-% \emph{any} closing bracket, and \foRest; will know what the current
-% node is. (Putting the code after a node's bracket is actually just a
-% special way to provide a value for option \ikeyname{tikz} of that node.)  To
-% refer to the current node, simply use an empty node name.  This works both with and without
-% anchors \citep[see][\S16.11]{tikzpgf2.10}: below, |(.south east)| and |()|.

-% Important: \emph{the \TikZ; code should usually be enclosed in braces} to hide
-% it from the bracket parser.  You don't want all the bracketed code
-% (e.g.\ |[->,dotted]|) to become tree nodes, right? (Well, they
-% probably wouldn't anyway, because \TeX\ would spit out a thousand

-% Finally, the most powerful tool in the node reference toolbox:
-% \emph{relative nodes}.  It is possible to refer to other nodes which stand
-% in some (most often geometrical) relation to the current node.  To
-% do this, follow the node's name with a |!| and a \emph{node walk}
-% specification.
-%
-% A node walk is a concise\footnote{Actually, \foRest; distinguishes two kinds of
-% steps in node walks: long and short steps.  This section introduces only short steps.  See 
-% \S\ref{ref:node-walk}.} way of expressing node
-% relations.  It is simply a string of steps, which are represented by single
-% characters, where: \ikeyname{u} stands for the parent node (up); \ikeyname{p} for the
-% previous sibling; \ikeyname{n,aspect=short step} for the next sibling; \ikeyname{s,aspect=short step} for \emph{the}
-% sibling (useful only in binary trees);\ekeyname{3} \ikeyname{1}, \ikeyname{2},
-% \ekeyname{3}\ekeyname{4}\ekeyname{5}\ekeyname{6}\ekeyname{7}\ekeyname{8}\dots\
-% \ikeyname{9} for first,
-% second, \dots\ ninth child; \ikeyname{l,aspect=short step}, for the last child, etc.  For the
-% complete specification, see section~\ref{ref:node-walk}.
-%
-% To see the node walk in action, consider the following examples.
-% In the first example, the agree arrow connects the V node, specified
-% simply as |()|, since the \TikZ; code follows |[V]|, and the DP node,
-% which is described as ``a sister of V's parent'': |!us| = up +
-% sibling.

-% \subsection{Node positioning}
-% \label{sec:node-positioning}
-%
-% \FoRest; positions the nodes by a recursive bottom-up algorithm which, for every non-terminal node,
-% computes the positions of the node's children relative to their parent.  By default, all the
-% children will be aligned horizontally some distance down from their parent: the ``normal'' tree
-% grows down.  More generally, however, the direction of growth can change from node to node; this is
-% controlled by option \ikeyname{grow}=\meta{direction}.\footnote{The direction can be specified either in
-%   degrees (following the standard mathematical convention that $0$ degrees is to the right, and that
-%   degrees increase counter-clockwise) or by the compass directions: \texttt{east}, \texttt{north east},
-%   \texttt{north}, etc.}  The system thus computes and stores the positions of children using a
-% coordinate system dependent on the parent, called an \emph{ls-coordinate system}: the origin is the
-% parent's anchor; l-axis is in the direction of growth in the parent; s-axis is orthogonal to the
-% l-axis (positive side in the counter-clockwise direction from $l$-axis); l stands for \emph{l}evel,
-% s for \emph{s}ibling.  The example shows the ls-coordinate system for a node with |grow=45|.

-% The l-coordinate of children is (almost) completely under your control, i.e.\ you set what is

-% \ikeyname{s}, control the distance between the (node) anchors of a node and its parent.  The
-% anchor of a node can be changed using option \ikeyname{anchor}: by default, nodes are anchored at
-% their base; see \cite[\S16.5.1]{tikzpgf2.10}.)  In the example below, positions of the anchors are
-% shown by dots: observe that anchors of nodes with the same \ikeyname{l} are aligned and that the

-% Positioning the chilren in the s-dimension is the job and \emph{raison d'etre} of the package.  As a
-% first approximation: the children are positioned so that the distance between them is at least the
-% value of option \ikeyname{s sep} (s-separation), which defaults to double \PGF;'s |inner_xsep| (and this
-% is 0.3333em by default).  As you can see from the example above, s-separation is the distance
-% between the borders of the nodes, not their anchors!
-%
-% A fuller story is that \ikeyname{s sep} does not control the s-distance between two siblings, but rather
-% the distance between the subtrees rooted in the siblings.  When the green and the yellow child of
-% the white node are s-positioned in the example below, the horizontal
-% distance between the green and the yellow subtree is computed.  It can be seen with the naked eye
-% that the closest nodes of the subtrees are the TP and the DP with a red border.  Thus, the children
-% of the root CP (top green DP and top yellow TP) are positioned so that the horizontal distance
-% between the red-bordered TP and DP equals \ikeyname{s sep}.

-% increase or decrease its value by 5\,mm, respectively.  This
-% mechanism works for every numeric and dimensional option in \foRest;.
-%
-% Let's now play with option \ikeyname{s sep}.
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={s sep,l,*,for tree}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     [CP, for tree=draw, ~s sep~=0
-%       [DP, for tree={fill=green},l*=3
-%         [D][NP]]
-%       [TP,for tree={fill=yellow}
-%         [T][VP[DP][V'[V][DP]]]]
-%     ]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% Surprised? You shouldn't be. The value of \ikeyname{s sep} at a given node controls the s-distance
-% \emph{between the subtrees rooted in the children of that node}!  It has no influence over the
-% internal geometry of these subtrees. In the above example, we have set |s_sep=0| only for the root
-% node, so the green and the yellow subtree are touching, although internally, their nodes are not.
-% Let's play a bit more.  In the following example, we set the \ikeyname{s sep} to: $0$ at the last
-% branching level (level 3; the root is level 0), to 2\,mm at level 2, to 4\,mm at level 1 and to
-% 6\,mm at level 0.
-% 
-% \begin{forestexample}[label=ex:spread-s,point={level},ekeynames={level,for tree,s sep}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     for tree={~s sep~=(3-level)*2mm}
-%     [CP, for tree=draw
-%       [DP, for tree={fill=green},l*=3
-%         [D][NP]]
-%       [TP,for tree={fill=yellow}
-%         [T][VP[DP][V'[V][DP]]]]
-%     ]
-%     \measurexdistance{(!11.south east)}{(!12.south west)}{+(0,-5mm)}{below}
-%     \path(md2)-|coordinate(md)(!221.south east);
-%     \measurexdistance{(!221.south east)}{(!222.south west)}{(md)}{below}
-%     \measurexdistance{(!21.north east)}{(!22.north west)}{+(0,2cm)}{above}
-%     \measurexdistance{(!1.north east)}{(!221.north west)}{+(0,-2.4cm)}{below}
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% As we go up the tree, the nodes ``spread.'' At the lowest level, V and DP are touching.  In the
-% third level, the \ikeyname{s sep} of level 2 applies, so DP and V' are 2\,mm apart.  At the second
-% level we 
-% have two pairs of nodes, D and NP, and T and TP: they are 4\,mm apart.  Finally, at level 1, the
-% \ikeyname{s sep} of level 0 applies, so the green and yellow DP are 6\,mm apart.  (Note that D and NP are
-% at level 2, not 4! Level is a matter of structure, not geometry.)
-%
-% As you have probably noticed, this example also demostrated that we can compute the value of an
-% option using an (arbitrarily complex) formula.  This is thanks to \PGF;'s module |pgfmath|.
-% \FoRest; provides an interface to |pgfmath| by defining |pgfmath| functions for every node option,
-% and some other information, like the \ikeyname{level} we have used above, the number of children
-% \ikeyname{n children}, the sequential number of the child \ikeyname{n}, etc.  For details, see
-% \S\ref{ref:pgfmath}. 
-%
-% The final separation parameter is \ikeyname{l sep}.  It determines the minimal
-% separation of a 
-% node from its descendants.  It the value of \ikeyname{l} is too small, then \emph{all} the
-% children (and thus their subtrees)
-% are pushed 
-% away from the parent (by increasing their \ikeyname{l}s), so that the distance between the node's
-% and each child's subtree
-% boundary is at least \ikeyname{l sep}.  The initial \ikeyname{l} can be too small for
-% two reasons: either 
-% some child is too high, or the parent is too deep.  The first problem is easier to see: we force the
-% situation using a bottom-aligned multiline node.  (Multiline nodes can be easily created using |\\|
-% as a line-separator.  However, you must first specify the horizontal alignment using option
-% \ikeyname{align} (see \S\ref{ref:node-appearance}). 
-% Bottom vertical alignment is achieved by setting \ikeyname{base}|=|\ikeyname{bottom,aspect=base};
-% the default, unlike in \TikZ;, is \ikeyname{base}|=|\ikeyname{top,aspect=base}).

-% \subsubsection{The defaults, or the hairy details of vertical alignment}
-% \label{sec:defaults}
-% 
-% In this section we discuss the default values of options controlling the l-alignment of the nodes.
-% The defaults are set with top-down trees in mind, so l-alignment is actually vertical alignment.
-% There are two desired effects of the defaults.  First, the spacing between the nodes of a tree
-% should adjust to the current font size.  Second, the nodes of a given level should be vertically
-% aligned (at the base), if possible.
-% 
-% Let us start with the base alignment: \TikZ;'s default is to anchor the nodes at their center,
-% while \foRest;, given the usual content of nodes in linguistic representations, rather anchors them
-% at the base \cite[\S16.5.1]{tikzpgf2.10}.  The difference is particularly clear for a ``phonological''
-% representation:
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={for tree,anchor}]
-%   \begin{forest} for tree={anchor=center}
-%     [maybe[m][a][y][b][e]]
-%   \end{forest}\quad
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     [maybe[m][a][y][b][e]]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% The following example shows that the vertical distance between nodes depends on the current font size.
-% \begin{forestexample}
-%   \hbox{\small A small tree
-%   \begin{forest} baseline
-%     [VP[DP][V'[V][DP]]]
-%   \end{forest}
-%   \normalsize and
-%   \large
-%   a large tree
-%   \begin{forest} baseline
-%     [VP[DP][V'[V][DP]]]
-%   \end{forest}}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% Furthermore, the distance between nodes also depends on the value of \PGF;'s |inner_sep| (which
-% also depends on the font size by default: it equals 0.3333\,em).
-% \[\ikeyname{l sep}=\mbox{height}(\mbox{strut})+\mbox{\texttt{inner ysep}}\]
-% The default value of \ikeyname{s sep} depends on |inner_xsep|: more precisely, it equals double
-% |inner_xsep|). 
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={baseline,for tree}]
-%   \begin{forest} baseline,for tree=draw
-%     [VP[DP][V'[V][DP]]]
-%   \end{forest}    
-%   \pgfkeys{/pgf/inner sep=0.6666em}
-%   \begin{forest} baseline,for tree=draw
-%     [VP[DP][V'[V][DP]]]
-%   \end{forest}    
-% \end{forestexample}
-% Now a hairy detail: the formula for the default \ikeyname{l}.
-% \[\ikeyname{l}=\ikeyname{l sep}+2\cdot\mbox{\texttt{outer ysep}}+\mbox{total
-% height}(\mbox{`dj'})\]
-%
-% To understand what this is all about we must first explain why it is necessary to set the default
-% \ikeyname{l} at all?  Wouldn't it be enough to simply set \ikeyname{l sep} (leaving
-% \ikeyname{l} at 0)?
-% The problem is that not all letters have the same height and depth.  A tree where the vertical
-% position of the nodes would be controlled solely by (a constant) \ikeyname{l sep} could
-% result in a ragged tree (although the height of the child--parent edges would be constant).
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={baseline,for children,no edge,name,for descendants,l}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     [default,baseline,for children={no edge}
-%       [DP
-%         [AdjP[Adj]]
-%         [D'[D][NP,name=np]]]]
-%     \path (current bounding box.west)|-coordinate(l)(np.base);
-%     \path (current bounding box.east)|-coordinate(r)(np.base);
-%     \draw[dotted] (l)--(r);
-%   \end{forest}
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     [{l=0},baseline,for children={no edge}    
-%       [DP,for descendants={l=0}
-%         [AdjP[Adj]]
-%         [D'[D][NP,name=np]]]]
-%     \path (current bounding box.west)|-coordinate(l)(np.base);
-%     \path (current bounding box.east)|-coordinate(r)(np.base);
-%     \draw[dotted] (l)--(r);
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% The vertical misalignment of Adj in the right tree is a consequence of the fact that letter j is the
-% only letter with non-zero depth in the tree.  Since only \ikeyname{l sep} (which is constant
-% throughout the tree) controls the vertical positioning, Adj, child of Ad\emph{j}P, is pushed lower
-% than the other nodes on level 2.  If the content of the nodes is variable enough (various heights
-% and depths), the cumulative effect can be quite strong, see the right tree of example
-% \ref{ex:misalignments}.
-% 
-% Setting only a default \ikeyname{l sep} thus does not work well enough in general.  The same
-% is true for the reverse possibility, setting a default \ikeyname{l} (and leaving \ikeyname{l sep} at 0).  In the example below, the depth of the multiline node (anchored at the top
-% line) is such that the child--parent edges are just too short if the level distance is kept constant.
-% Sometimes, misalignment is much preferred \dots
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={align,{center,aspect=align},for tree,l sep}]
-%   \mbox{}\begin{forest}
-%     [default
-%       [first child[a][b][c]]
-%       [second child\\\scriptsize(a copy),
-%        align=center[a][b][c]]
-%     ]
-%   \end{forest}\\
-%   \begin{forest} for tree={l sep=0}
-%     [{\texttt{l sep}=0}
-%       [first child[a][b][c]]
-%       [second child\\\scriptsize(a copy),
-%                    align=center[a][b][c]]
-%     ]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% 
-% Thus, the idea is to make \ikeyname{l} and \ikeyname{l sep} work as a team:
-% \ikeyname{l} prevents 
-% misalignments, if possible, while \ikeyname{l sep} determines the minimal vertical distance
-% between levels.  Each of the two options deals with a certain kind of a ``deviant'' node, i.e.\ a
-% node which is too high or too deep, or a node which is not high or deep enough, so we need to
-% postulate what a \emph{standard} node is, and synchronize them so that their effect on standard
-% nodes is the same.
-% 
-% By default, \foRest; sets the standard node to be a node containing letters d and j.  Linguistic
-% representations consist mainly of letters, and in the \TeX's default Computer Modern font, d is the
-% highest letter (not character!), and j the deepest, so this decision guarantees that trees
-% containing only letters will look nice.  If the tree contains many parentheses, like the right
-% tree of example \ref{ex:misalignments}, the default will of course fail
-% and the standard node needs to be modified.  But for many applications, including nodes with
-% indices, the default works.
-% 
-% The standard node can be changed using macro \icmdname{forestStandardNode};
-% see \ref{ref:standard-node}. 
-% 
-% \subsection{Advanced option setting}
-% \label{sec:advanced-option-setting}
-%
-% We have already seen that the value of options can be manipulated: in \ref{ex:romannumeral} we have
-% converted numeric content from arabic into roman numerals using the \emph{wrapping} mechanism
-% |content=\romannumeral#1|; in \ref{ex:l*}, we have tripled the value of |l|
-% by saying |l*=3|.  In this section, we will learn about the mechanisms for setting and
-% referring to option values offered by \foRest;.
-%
-% One other way to access an option value is using macro \icmdname{forestoption}.  The macro takes a
-% single argument: an option name.  (For details, see \S\ref{ref:options-and-keys}.)  In the
-% following example, the node's child sequence number is appended to the existing content. (This is
-% therefore also an example of wrapping.)
-% \begin{forestexample}[label=ex:forestoption,ekeynames={phantom,delay,for descendants,content,n},ecmdnames={forestoption}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     [,phantom,delay={for descendants={
-%       content=#1$_{~\forestoption~{n}}$}}
-%     [c][o][u][n][t]]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-%
-% However, only options of the current node can be accessed using \icmdname{forestoption}.  To
-% access option values of other nodes, \foRest;'s extensions to the \PGF;'s mathematical library
-% |pgfmath|, documented in \citep[part VI]{tikzpgf2.10}, must be used.  To see |pgfmath| in action,
-% first take a look at the crazy tree on the title page, and observe how the nodes are
-% rotated: the value given to (\TikZ;) option \texttt{rotate} is a full-fledged |pgfmath| expression
-% yielding an integer
-% in the range from $-30$ to $30$.  Similiarly, \ikeyname{l}\ikeyname{+} adds a random float
-% in the $[-5,5]$ range to the current value of \ikeyname{l}.
-%
-% Example \ref{ex:spread-s} demonstrated that information about
-% the node, like the node's level, can be accessed within |pgfmath| expressions.  All
-% options are accessible in this way, i.e.\ every option has a corresponding |pgfmath| function.
-% For example, we could rotate the node based on its content:
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={delay,for tree,rotate,content}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     delay={for tree={~rotate=content~}}
-%     [30[-10[5][0]][-90[180]][90[-60][90]]]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% 
-% All numeric, dimensional and boolean options of \foRest; automatically pass the given value
-% through |pgfmath|.  If you need pass the value through |pgfmath| 
-% for a string option, use the \ikeyname{id=.pgfmath,nfc} handler.  The following example sets the node's
-% content to its child sequence number (the root has child sequence number 0).
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={delay,for tree,content,n,{id=.pgfmath,nfc}}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     delay={for tree={content/~.pgfmath~=int(n)}}
-%     [[[][][]][[][]]]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-%
-% As mentioned above, using |pgfmath| it is possible to access options of non-current nodes.  This
-% is achieved by providing the option function with a \imeta{relative node name}
-% (see~\S\ref{ref:relative-node-names}) argument.\footnote{The form without
-% parentheses \texttt{option\string_name} that we have been using until now to refer to an option of
-% the 
-% current node is just a short-hand notation for \texttt{option\string_name()} --- note that in some
-% contexts, like preceding \texttt{+} or \texttt{-}, the short form does not work! (The same
-% seems to be true for all pgfmath functions with ``optional'' arguments.)}  In the next example, we
-% rotate the node based on the content of its parent.
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={delay,for tree,rotate,content,u}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     delay={for descendants={rotate=content~("!u")~}}
-%     [30[-10[5][0]][-90[180]][90[-60][90]]]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% Note that the argument of the option function is surrounded by double quotation marks: this is
-% to prevent evaluation of the relative node name as a |pgfmath| function --- which it is not.
-%
-% Handlers \ikeyname{id=.wrap pgfmath arg,nfc} and \ikeyname{id=.wrap $n$ pgfmath args,nfc}
-% (for $n=2,\dots,8$) combine the wrapping mechanism with the |pgfmath| evaluation.  The
-% idea is to compute (most often, just access option values) arguments using |pgfmath| and then
-% wrap them with the given macro.  Below, this is used to include the number of parent's children in
-% the index. 
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={phantom,delay,for descendants,content,n,n children,{id=.wrap 3 pgfmath args,nfc}}]
-%   \begin{forest} [,phantom,delay={for descendants={
-%               ~content/.wrap 3 pgfmath args=
-%               {#1$_{#2/#3}$}{content}{n}{n_children("!u")}~}}
-%     [c][o][u][n][t]]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% Note the underscore |__| character in |n__children|: in |pgfmath| function names, spaces,
-% apostrophes and other non-alphanumeric characters from option names are all replaced by
-% underscores. 
-% 
-% As another example, let's make the numerals example \ref{ex:numerals-simple} a bit fancier.
-% The numeral type is read off the parent's content and used to construct the appropriate control
-% sequence (|\@arabic|, |\@roman| and |\@alph|).  (Also, the numbers are not specified in content
-% anymore: we simply read the sequence number \ikeyname{n}.  And, to save some horizontal space for the
-% code, each child of the root is pushed further down.)
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={delay,where ,level,content,n,for children,l,{id=.wrap 2 pgfmath args,nfc}}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     delay={where level={2}{~content/.wrap 2 pgfmath args=
-%         {\csname @#1\endcsname{#2}}{content("!u")}{n}~}{}},
-%     for children={l*=n},
-%     [\LaTeX numerals,
-%       [arabic[][][][]]
-%       [roman[][][][]]
-%       [alph[][][][]]
-%     ]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-%
-% The final way to use |pgfmath| expressions in \foRest;: \ikeyname{if} clauses.  In
-% section~\ref{sec:options}, we have seen that every option has a corresponding \ikeyname{id={{if }}}|...|
-% (and \ikeyname{id={{where }}}|...|) option.  However, these are just a matter of convenience.  The full
-% power resides 
-% in the general \ikeyname{if} option, which takes three arguments: 
-% |if=|\meta{condition}\meta{true options}\meta{false options}, where \meta{condition} can be any
-% |pgfmath| expression 
-% (non-zero means true, zero means false).  (Once again, option \ikeyname{where} is an abbreviation
-% for \ikeyname{for tree}|={|\ikeyname{if}|=...}|.)  In the following example, \ikeyname{if} option
-% is used to orient the 
-% arrows from the smaller number to the greater, and to color the odd and even numbers differently.
-%
-% \forestset{random tree/.style n args={3}{^^A #1=max levels, #2=max children, #3=max content
-%       content/.pgfmath={random(0,#3)},
-%       if={#1>0}{repeat={random(0,#2)}{append={[,random tree={#1-1}{#2}{#3}]}}}{}}}
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={before typesetting nodes,for descendants,if,content,edge,edge label,for tree,if},point=if]
-%   \pgfmathsetseed{314159}
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     before typesetting nodes={
-%       for descendants={
-%         if={content()>content("!u")}{edge=->}{
-%           if={content()<content("!u")}{edge=<-}{}},
-%           edge label/.wrap pgfmath arg=
-%             {node[midway,above,sloped,font=\scriptsize]{+#1}}
-%             {int(abs(content()-content("!u")))}
-%       },
-%       for tree={circle,if={mod(content(),2)==0}
-%                           {fill=yellow}{fill=green}}
-%     }
-%     [,random tree={3}{3}{100}]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-%
-% This exhausts the ways of using |pgfmath| in forest.  We continue by introducing \emph{relative
-% node setting}: write \imeta{relative node name}|.|\meta{option}|=|\meta{value} to set the
-% value of \meta{option} of the specified relative node. Important: computation (pgfmath or wrap) of
-% the value is 
-% done in the context of the original node.  The following example defines style \keyname{move} which
-% not only draws an arrow from the source to the target, but also moves the content of the source
-% to the target (leaving a trace).  Note the difference between |#1| and |##1|: |#1| is the argument
-% of the style \keyname{move}, i.e.\ the given node walk, while |##1| is the original option value
-% (in this case, content).
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={for tree,calign,tikz,delay,content}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     for tree={calign=fixed edge angles},
-%     move/.style={
-%       tikz={\draw[->] () to[out=south west,in=south] (#1);},
-%       delay={~#1.content~={##1},content=$t$}},
-%     [CP[][C'[C][\dots[,phantom][VP[DP][V'[V][DP,move=!r1]]]]]]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-%
-% In the following example, the content of the branching nodes is computed by \foRest;: a branching
-% node is a sum of its 
-% children.  Besides the use of the relative node setting, this example notably uses a recursive
-% style: for each child of the node, style \keyname{calc} first applies itself to the child and then
-% adds the result to the node; obviously, recursion is made to stop at terminal nodes. 
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={id={{if }},n children,content,for children,delay,{id=.pgfmath,nfc}}]
-%   \begin{forest}

-% \subsection{Externalization}
-% \label{tut:externalization}
-%
-% \FoRest; can be quite slow, due to the slowness of both \PGF;/\TikZ; and its own computations.
-% However, using \emph{externalization}, the amount of time spent in \foRest; in everyday life can
-% be reduced dramatically.  The idea is to typeset the trees only once, saving them in separate
-% PDFs, and then, on the subsequent compilations of the document, simply include these PDFs instead
-% of doing the lenghty tree-typesetting all over again.
-%
-% \FoRest;'s externalization mechanism is built on top of \TikZ;'s |external| library.  It
-% enhances it by automatically detecting the code and context changes: the tree is recompiled if and
-% only if either the code in the \ikeyname{forest} environment or the context (arbitrary parameters; by
-% default, the parameters of the standard node) changes.
-%
-% To use \foRest;'s externalization facilities, say:\footnote{When you switch on
-% the externalization for a document containing many \keyname{forest} environments, the first
-% compilation can take quite a while, much more than the compilation without externalization. (For
-% example, more than ten minutes for the document you are reading!)  Subsequent compilations,
-% however, will be very fast.}\ekeyname{external}
-% \begin{lstlisting}[point=external]
-%   \usepackage[external]{forest}
-%   ~\tikzexternalize~
-% \end{lstlisting}
-%
-% If your \ikeyname{forest} environment contains some macro, you will probably want the externalized
-% tree to be recompiled when the definition of the macro changes.  To achieve this, use
-% \icmdname{forestset}|{|\ikeyname{id={external/depends on macro}}|=|\cmdname{macro}|}|.  The effect is
-% local to the \TeX\ group.
-%
-% \TikZ;'s externalization library promises a |\label| inside the externalized graphics to work
-% out-of-box, while |\ref| inside the externalized graphics should work only if the externalization
-% is run manually or by |make| \citep[\S32.4.1]{tikzpgf2.10}.  A bit surprisingly perhaps, the
-% situation is roughly reversed in \foRest;.  |\ref| inside the externalized graphics will work
-% out-of-box.  |\label| inside the externalized graphics will not work at all.  Sorry.  (The reason
-% is that \foRest; prepares the node content in advance, before merging it in the whole tree, which
-% is when \TikZ;'s externalization is used.)
-%
-% \subsection{Expansion control in the bracket parser}
-% \label{tut:bracket}
-%
-% By default, macros in the bracket encoding of a tree are not
-% expanded until nodes are being drawn --- this way, node
-% specification can contain formatting instructions, as illustrated in
-% section~\ref{sec:basic-usage}.  However, sometimes it is useful to
-% expand macros while parsing the bracket representation, for example to
-% define tree templates such as the X-bar template, familiar
-% to generative grammarians:\footnote{Honestly, dynamic node creation might be a better way to do
-% this; see~\S\ref{ref:dynamic}.}
-% \begin{forestexample}[ecmdnames=bracketset,ekeynames={action character}]
-%   ~\bracketset{action character=@}~
-%   \def\XP#1#2#3{#1P[#2][#1'[#1][#3]]}
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     [~@~\XP T{DP}{~@~\XP V{DP}{DP}}]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% In the above example, the |\XP| macro is preceded by the \emph{action character} |@|: as
-% the result, the token following the action character was expanded before the parsing proceeded.
-%
-% The action character is not hard coded into \foRest;.  Actually, there is no action character by
-% default.  (There's enough special characters in \foRest; already, anyway, and the situations where
-% controlling the expansion is preferable to using the pgfkeys interface are not numerous.)  It is
-% defined at the top of the example by processing key \ikeyname{action character} in the
-% \ikeyname{id={/bracket},nfc} path; the definition is local to the \TeX\ group.
-% 
-% Let us continue with the description of the expansion control facilities of the bracket parser.
-% The expandable token following the
-% action character is expanded only once.  Thus, if one defined macro
-% |\VP| in terms of the general |\XP| and tried to use it in the same
-% fashion as |\XP| above, he would fail.  The correct way is to follow
-% the action character by a braced expression: the braced expression
-% is fully expanded before bracket-parsing is resumed.
-% \begin{forestexample}[ecmdnames=bracketset,ekeynames=action character]
-%   \bracketset{action character=@}
-%   \def\XP#1#2#3{#1P[#2][#1'[#1][#3]]}
-%   \def\VP#1#2{\XP V{#1}{#2}}
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     [@\XP T{DP}{~@{~\VP{DP}{DP}~}~}]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-%
-% In some applications, the need for macro expansion might be much
-% more common than the need to embed formatting instructions.
-% Therefore, the bracket parser provides commands |@+| and |@-|: |@+|
-% switches to full expansion mode --- all tokens are fully expanded
-% before parsing them; |@-| switches back to the default mode, where
-% nothing is automatically expanded.
-% \begin{forestexample}[ecmdnames=bracketset,ekeynames=action character]
-%   \bracketset{action character=@}
-%   \def\XP#1#2#3{#1P[#2][#1'[#1][#3]]}
-%   \def\VP#1#2{\XP V{#1}{#2}}
-%   \begin{forest} ~@+~
-%     [\XP T{DP}{\VP{DP}{DP}}]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% 
-% All the action commands discussed above were dealing only with
-% \TeX's macro expansion.  There is one final action command, |@@|,
-% which yields control to the user code and expects it to call
-% |\bracketResume| to resume parsing.  This is useful to e.g.\
-% implement automatic node enumeration:
-% \begin{forestexample}[ecmdnames=bracketset,ekeynames={action character,phantom,for
-% ,n,baseline,delay,where ,level,content}]
-%   \bracketset{action character=@}
-%   \newcount\xcount
-%   \def\x#1{~@@~\advance\xcount1
-%     \edef\xtemp{[$\noexpand\times_{\the\xcount}$[#1]]}%
-%     \expandafter\bracketResume\xtemp
-%   }
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     phantom,
-%     delay={where level=1{content={\strut #1}}{}}
-%     ~@+~
-%     [\x{f}\x{o}\x{r}\x{e}\x{s}\x{t}]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% This example is fairly complex, so let's discuss how it works.  |@+| switches to the full
-% expansion mode, so that macro |\x| can be easily run.  The real magic hides in this macro.  In
-% order to be able to advance the node counter |\xcount|, the macro takes control from \foRest; by
-% the |@@| command.  Since we're already in control, we can use |\edef| to define the node content.
-% Finally, the |\xtemp| macro containing the node specification is expanded with the resume command
-% sticked in front of the expansion.

-% \label{ref:environments}
-%
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \item[,,environment]|\begin{|\rkeyname{forest}|}|\meta{tree}|\end{|\rkeyname{forest}|}|
-% \rcmdname[item]{Forest}[*]\marg{tree}
-%
-% The environment and the starless version of the macro introduce a group; the starred macro does
-% not, so the created nodes can be used afterwards.  (Note that this will leave a lot of temporary
-% macros lying around.  This shouldn't be a problem, however, since all of them reside in the
-% |\forest| namespace.)
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% \subsection{The bracket representation}
-% \label{ref:bracket}
-%
-% A bracket representation of a tree is a token list with the following syntax:
-% \begin{eqnarray*}
-%   \meta{tree}&=&\left[\meta{preamble}\right]\meta{node}\\
-%   \meta{node}&=&\texttt{[}\left[\meta{content}\right]\left[\texttt{,}\meta{keylist}\right]
-%                  \left[\meta{children}\right]\texttt{]}\meta{afterthought}\\
-%   \meta{preamble}&=&\meta{keylist}\\
-%   \meta{keylist}&=&\meta{key--value}\left[,\meta{keylist}\right]\\
-%   \meta{key--value}&=&\meta{key}\OR\meta{key}\texttt{=}\meta{value}\\
-%   \meta{children}&=&\meta{node}\left[\meta{children}\right]
-% \end{eqnarray*}
-% 
-% The actual input might be different, though, since expansion may have occurred during the input
-% reading.  Expansion control sequences of \foRest;'s bracket parser are shown below.
-% \begin{center}
-%   \begin{tabular}{ll}
-%     \rstyle\meta{action character}\texttt{-}&no-expansion mode (default): nothing is expanded\\
-%     \rstyle\meta{action character}\texttt{+}&expansion mode: everything is fully expanded\\
-%     \rstyle\meta{action character}\texttt{}\meta{token}&expand \meta{token}\\
-%     \rstyle\meta{action character}\texttt{}\meta{\TeX-group}&fully expand \meta{\TeX-group}\\
-%     \rstyle\meta{action character}\meta{action character}&yield control;\\&upon finishing its job,
-%     user's code should call \texttt{\string\bracketResume}
-%   \end{tabular}
-% \end{center}
-% 
-% \paragraph{Customization} To customize the bracket parser, call
-% \rcmdname{bracketset}\meta{keylist}, where the keys can be the following. 
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item={[}]{opening bracket}|=|\meta{character}
-% \rkeyname[item={{{{]}}}}]{closing bracket}|=|\meta{character}
-% \rkeyname[item=none]{action character}|=|\meta{character}
-% \end{syntax}
-% 
-% By redefining the following two keys, the bracket parser can be used outside \foRest;.
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item]{new node}|=|\meta{preamble}\meta{node specification}\meta{csname}.
-%   Required semantics: create a new node given the preamble (in the case of a new
-%   root node) and the node specification and store the new node's id into \meta{csname}. 
-% \rkeyname[item]{set afterthought}|=|\meta{afterthought}\meta{node id}.
-%   Required semantics: store the afterthought in the node with given id.
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% \subsection{Options and keys}
-% \label{ref:option-types}
-% \label{ref:options-and-keys}
-% 
-% The position and outlook of nodes is controlled by \emph{options}.  Many options can be set for a
-% node.  \emph{Each node's options are set independently of other nodes:} in particular, setting an
-% option of a node does \emph{not} set this option for the node's descendants.  
-%
-% Options are set using \PGF;'s key management utility |pgfkeys| \citep[\S55]{tikzpgf2.10}.  In the
-% bracket representation of a tree (see~\S\ref{ref:bracket}), each node can be given a
-% \meta{keylist}.  After parsing the representation of the tree, the keylists of the 
-% nodes are processed (recursively, in a depth-first, parent-first fashion).  The preamble is
-% processed first, in 
-% the context of the root node.\footnote{The value of a key (if it is given) is interpreted as one
-% or more arguments to the key command. 
-% If there is only one argument, the situation is simple: the whole value is the argument.  When the
-% key takes more than one argument, each argument should be enclosed in braces, unless, as usual in
-% \TeX, the argument is a single token.  (The pairs of braces can be separated by whitespace.)  An
-% argument should also be enclosed in braces if it contains a special character: a comma \texttt{,}, an
-% equal sign \texttt{=} or a bracket \texttt{[]}.}
-%
-% The node whose keylist is being processed is the \emph{current node}.  During the processing of
-% the keylist, the current node can temporarily change.  This mainly happens when propagators
-% (\S\ref{ref:propagators}) are being processed.
-% 
-% Options can be set in various ways, depending on the option type (the types are listed below).
-% The most straightforward way is to use the key with the same name as the option:
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \item \meta{option}|=|\meta{value}  Sets the value of \meta{option} of the current node to
-% \meta{value}.
-%
-%   Notes: (i) Obviously, this does not work for read-only options.  (ii) Some option types override
-%   this behaviour.
-% \end{syntax}
-% It is also possible to set a non-current option:
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \item
-%   \imeta{relative node name}|.|\meta{option}|=|\meta{value}  Sets the value of
-%   \meta{option} of the node specified by \meta{relative node name} to \meta{value}.
-%
-%   Notes: \begin{inparaenum}[(i)]
-%   \item\emph{\meta{value} is evaluated in the context of the current node.}
-%   \item In general, the resolution of \meta{relative node name} depends on the
-%     current node; see \S\ref{ref:relative-node-names}.
-%   \item \meta{option} can also be an ``augmented operator'' (see below) or an additional
-%     option-setting key defined for a specific option.
-%   \end{inparaenum}
-% \end{syntax}
-% The option values can be not only set, but also read.
-% \begin{itemize}
-% \item Using macros \rcmdname{forestoption}|{|\meta{option}|}| and
-%   \rcmdname{foresteoption}|{|\meta{option}|}|, options of the current node can be accessed in \TeX\
-%   code.  (``\TeX\ code'' includes \meta{value} expressions!).
-%
-%   In the context of |\edef| or \PGF;'s handler |.expanded| \citep[\S55.4.6]{tikzpgf2.10},
-%   \cmdname{forestoption} expands precisely to the token list of the option value, while
-%   \cmdname{foresteoption} allows the option value to be expanded as well.
-% \item Using |pgfmath| functions defined by \foRest;, options of both current and non-current nodes
-%   can be accessed.  For details, see \S\ref{ref:pgfmath}.
-% \end{itemize}
-%
-% We continue with listing of all keys defined for every option.  The set of defined keys and their
-% meanings depends on the option type.  Option types and the type-specific keys can be found in the
-% list below.  Common to all types are two simple conditionals, \ikeyname{id={{if }}}\meta{option}
-% and \ikeyname{id={{where }}}\meta{option}, which are  
-% defined for every \meta{option}; for details, see \S\ref{ref:conditionals}.  
-% 
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rmeta[item]{toks} contains \TeX's \meta{balanced text} \citep[275]{texbook}.
-%
-%   A toks \meta{option} additionally defines the following keys:
-%   \begin{syntax}
-%   \item {\rstyle\meta{option}}\rkeyname{+}|=|\meta{toks} appends the given \meta{toks} to the
-%     current value of the option.
-%     
-%   \item {\rstyle\meta{option}}\rkeyname{-}|=|\meta{toks} prepends the given \meta{toks} to the
-%     current value of the option.
-%     
-%     \rkeyname[margin={},item]{id={{if in }}}{\rstyle\meta{option}}|=|\meta{toks}\meta{true
-%     keylist}\meta{false keylist} checks if \meta{toks} occurs in the option value; if it does,
-%     \meta{true keylist} are executed, otherwise \meta{false keylist}.
-%     
-%     \rkeyname[margin={},item]{id={{where in }}}\meta{option}|=|\meta{toks}\meta{true
-%     keylist}\meta{false keylist} is a style equivalent to \ikeyname{for tree}|={|\keyname{if in }\meta{option}=\meta{toks}\meta{true keylist}\meta{false keylist}|}|: for every node in
-%     the subtree rooted in the current node, \keyname{if in }\meta{option} is executed in
-%     the context of that node.
-%   \end{syntax}
-% 
-% \rmeta[item]{autowrapped toks} is a subtype of \imeta{toks} and contains \TeX's \meta{balanced
-% text} \citep[275]{texbook}. 
-%
-%   {\rstyle\meta{option}}|=|\meta{toks} of an autowrapped \meta{option} is equivalent to
-%   \meta{option}|/|\ikeyname{id=.wrap value,nfc}|=|\meta{toks} of a normal \meta{toks} option.
-%   
-%   Keyvals {\rstyle\meta{option}}\rkeyname{+}|=|\meta{toks} and
-%   {\rstyle\meta{option}\rkeyname{-}}|=|\meta{toks} are equivalent to
-%   \meta{option}\keyname{+}|/|\ikeyname{id=.wrap value,nfc}|=|\meta{toks} and
-%   \meta{option}\keyname{-}|/|\ikeyname{id=.wrap value,nfc}|=|\meta{toks}, respectively.  The
-%   normal toks behaviour can be accessed via keys {\rstyle\meta{option}|'|},
-%   {\rstyle\meta{option}|+'|} and {\rstyle\meta{option}|-'|}.  
-%
-% \rmeta[item]{keylist} is a subtype of \imeta{toks} and contains a comma-separated list of
-%   \meta{key}[|=|\meta{value}] pairs.
-% 
-%   Augmented operators {\rstyle\meta{option}\keyname{+}} and {\rstyle\meta{option}\keyname{-}} automatically
-%   insert a comma before/after the appended/prepended material.
-%
-%   {\rstyle\meta{option}}|=|\meta{keylist} of a keylist option is equivalent to
-%   \meta{option}\keyname{+}|=|\meta{keylist}.  In other words, keylists behave additively by
-%   default.  The rationale is that one usually wants to add keys to a keylist.  The usual,
-%   non-additive behaviour can be accessed by {\rstyle\meta{option}\rkeyname{'}}|=|\meta{keylist}.
-%
-% \rmeta[item]{dimen} contains a dimension.
-%
-%   The value given to a dimension option is automatically evaluated by pgfmath.  In other words:
-%
-%   {\rstyle\meta{option}}|=|\meta{pgfmath} is an implicit \meta{option}|/.pgfmath=|\meta{pgfmath}.
-%
-%   For a \meta{dimen} option \meta{option}, the following additional keys (``augmented
-%   assignments'') are defined:
-%   \begin{itemize}
-%   \item {\rstyle\meta{option}\rkeyname{+}}|=|\meta{value} is equivalent to \meta{option}|=|\meta{option}|()+|\meta{value}
-%   \item {\rstyle\meta{option}\rkeyname{-}}|=|\meta{value} is equivalent to \meta{option}|=|\meta{option}|()-|\meta{value}
-%   \item {\rstyle\meta{option}\rkeyname{*}}|=|\meta{value} is equivalent to \meta{option}|=|\meta{option}|()*|\meta{value}
-%   \item {\rstyle\meta{option}\rkeyname{:}}|=|\meta{value} is equivalent to \meta{option}|=|\meta{option}|()/|\meta{value}
-%   \end{itemize}
-% 
-%   The evaluation of \meta{pgfmath} can be quite slow.  There are two tricks to speed things up
-%   \emph{if} the \meta{pgfmath} expression is simple, i.e.\ just a \TeX\ \meta{dimen}:
-%   \begin{enumerate}
-%   \item |pgfmath| evaluation of simple values can be sped up by prepending \ikeyname{+} to the value
-%     \citep[\S62.1]{tikzpgf2.10};
-%   \item use the key {\rstyle\meta{option}\rkeyname{'}}|=|\meta{value} to invoke a normal \TeX\ assignment.
-%   \end{enumerate}
-%
-%   The two above-mentioned speed-up tricks work for the augmented assignments as well.  The keys
-%   for the second, \TeX-only trick are: {\rstyle\meta{option}\rkeyname{'+}},
-%   {\rstyle\meta{option}\rkeyname{'-}}, {\rstyle\meta{option}\rkeyname{'*}} and
-%   {\rstyle\meta{option}\rkeyname{':}} --- note that for the latter two, the value should be an
-%   integer.
-% 
-% \rmeta[item]{count} contains an integer.
-%
-%   The additional keys and their behaviour are the same as for the \meta{dimen} options.
-%
-% \rmeta[item]{boolean} contains $0$ (false) or $1$ (true).
-%
-%   In the general case, the value given to a \meta{boolean} option is automatically
-%   parsed by pgfmath (just as for \meta{count} and \meta{dimen}): if the computed value is
-%   non-zero, $1$ is stored; otherwise, $0$ is stored.  Note that |pgfmath| recognizes constants
-%   |true| and |false|, so it is possible to write \meta{option}|=true| and
-%   \meta{option}|=false|.
-%
-%   If key \meta{option} is given no argument, pgfmath evaluation does not apply and a true value is
-%   set.  To quickly set a false value, use key {\rstyle\rkeyname{id={{not }}}\meta{option}} (with
-%   no arguments). 
-% \end{syntax}
-% 
-% The following subsections are a complete reference to the part of the user interface residing in
-% the |pgfkeys|' path \keyname{/forest}.  In plain language, they list all the options known to
-% \foRest;.  More precisely, however, not only options are listed, but also other keys, such as
-% propagators, conditionals, etc.
-%
-% Before listing the keys, it is worth mentioning that users can also define their own keys.  The
-% easiest way to do this is by using \emph{styles}.  Styles are a feature of the |pgfkeys| package.
-% They are 
-% named keylists, whose usage ranges from mere abbreviations through templates to devices
-% implementing recursion.  To define a style, use \PGF;'s handler \keyname{.style}
-% \citep[\S55.4.4]{tikzpgf2.10}: \meta{style name}|/.style=|\meta{keylist}.
-%
-% Using the following keys, users can also declare their own options.  The new options will behave
-% exactly like the predefined ones.
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item]{declare toks}|=|\meta{option name}\meta{default value}  Declares a \meta{toks} option.
-% \rkeyname[item]{declare autowrapped toks}|=|\meta{option name}\meta{default value} Declares an
-% \meta{autowrapped toks} option.
-% \rkeyname[item]{declare keylist}|=|\meta{option name}\meta{default value} Declares a
-% \meta{keylist} option. 
-% \rkeyname[item]{declare dimen}|=|\meta{option name}\meta{default value} Declares a \meta{dimen} option.
-% \rkeyname[item]{declare count}|=|\meta{option name}\meta{default value} Declares a \meta{count} option.
-% \rkeyname[item]{declare boolean}|=|\meta{option name}\meta{default value} Declares a
-% \meta{boolean} option.
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% The style definitions and option declarations given
-% among the other keys in the bracket specification are local to the current tree.  To define
-% globally accessible styles and options (well, definitions are always local to the current \TeX\
-% group), use macro |\forestset| outside the
-% \ikeyname{forest} environment:\footnote{\cmdname{forestset}\meta{keylist} is equivalent to
-% \cmdname{pgfkeys}\texttt{\{}/forest,\meta{keylist}\texttt{\}}.}
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rcmdname[item]{forestset}\marg{keylist}
-%   
-%   Execute \meta{keylist} with the default path set to \keyname{/forest}.
-%   \begin{advise}
-%   \item Usually, no current node is set when this macro is called.  Thus, executing node options
-%     in this place will \emph{fail}. However, if you have some nodes lying around, you can use
-%     propagator \ikeyname{for name}|=|\meta{node name} to set the node with the given name as
-%     current.
-%   \end{advise}
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% \subsubsection{Node appearance}
-% \label{ref:node-appearance}
-%
-% The following options apply at stage \ikeyname{typesetting nodes}. Changing them
-% afterwards has no effect in the normal course of events. 
-%
-% \begin{syntax}
-%   \rkeyname[item={{{{{}}}}}]{align}|=|\keyname{left,aspect=align}\OR\keyname{center,aspect=align}\OR\keyname{right,aspect=align}\OR\meta{toks: tabular header} 
-%
-%   Creates a left/center/right-aligned multiline node, or a tabular node.  In the
-%   \ikeyname{content} option, the lines of the node should separated by |\\| and the columns (if
-%   any) by |&|, as usual.
-%
-%   The vertical alignment of the multiline/tabular node can be specified by option \ikeyname{base}.
-%
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={l sep,align,base}]
-%   \begin{forest} l sep+=2ex
-%     [special value&actual value\\\hline
-%       \rkeyname{left,aspect=align}&||\texttt{@\{\}l@\{\}}\\
-%       \rkeyname{center,aspect=align}&||\texttt{@\{\}c@\{\}}\\
-%       \rkeyname{right,aspect=align}&||\texttt{@\{\}r@\{\}}\\
-%       ,~align~=ll,draw
-%       [top base\\right aligned, ~align~=right,~base~=top]
-%       [left aligned\\bottom base, ~align~=left,~base~=bottom]
-%     ]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% 
-%   Internally, setting this option has two effects:
-%   \begin{enumerate}
-%   \item The option value (a |tabular| environment header specification) is set.  The special
-%     values \keyname{left}, \keyname{center} and \keyname{right} invoke styles setting the actual

-%
-% This option controls the vertical alignment of multiline (and in general, \texttt{tabular}) nodes

-% be the baseline) and \rkeyname{b,aspect=base} (the bottom line of the table will be the baseline).
-% Note that this will only have effect if the node is anchored on a baseline, like in the default
-% case of \ikeyname{anchor}|=base|.
-%
-% For readability, you can use \rkeyname{top,aspect=base} and \rkeyname{bottom,aspect=base} instead

-%
-% This option contains the code that draws the edge from the node to its parent.  By default, it
-% creates a path consisting of a single line segment between the node's \ikeyname{child anchor} and
-% its parent's \ikeyname{parent anchor}. Options given by \ikeyname{edge} are passed to the path; by
-% default, the path is simply drawn.  Contents of \ikeyname{edge label} are used to potentially place
-% a node (or nodes) along the edge.
-%
-% When setting this option, the values of options \ikeyname{edge} and \ikeyname{edge label} can be
-% used in the edge path specification to include the values of options \ikeyname{edge} and \ikeyname{edge
-% node}.  Furthermore, two generic anchors, \ikeyname{parent anchor,aspect=generic anchor} and \ikeyname{child anchor,aspect=generic anchor}, are defined, 
-% to facilitate access to options \ikeyname{parent anchor} and \ikeyname{child anchor} from the \TikZ; code.
-%
-% The node positioning algorithm is sensitive to edges, i.e.\ it will avoid a node overlapping an
-% edge or two edges overlapping. However, the positioning algorithm always behaves as if the
-% \keyname{edge path} had the default value --- \emph{changing the \keyname{edge path} does not
-% influence the packing!}  Sorry.  (Parent--child edges can be ignored, however: see option

-% \rkeyname[item={{{{{}}}}}]{parent anchor}|=|\meta{toks: \TikZ; anchor} (Information also applies to

-% \rkeyname{child anchor,aspect=generic anchor} (which work only for \foRest; and not also \TikZ;
-% nodes, of course) to facilitate reference to the desired endpoints of child--parent edges.
-% Whenever one of these anchors is invoked, it looks up the value of the \keyname{parent anchor} or
-% \keyname{child anchor} of the node named in the coordinate specification, and forwards the request
-% to the (\TikZ;) anchor given as the value.
-%
-% The indented use of the two anchors is chiefly in \ikeyname{edge path} specification, but they can
-% used in any \TikZ; code.

-% \subsubsection{Readonly}
-% \label{ref:readonly-options}
-%
-% The values of these options provide various information about the tree and its nodes.
-% 
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item]{id=id}|=|\meta{count}) The internal id of the node.
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{level}|=|\meta{count}  The hierarchical level of the node.  The root is on level $0$. 
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{max x}|=|\meta{dimen} \vspace{-\parskip}
-% \rkeyname[item]{max y}|=|\meta{dimen} \vspace{-\parskip}

-%   \citep[see][\S16.2,\S48,\S75]{tikzpgf2.10} shifted so that the node anchor is at the origin.
-%
-%   In |pgfmath| expressions, these options are accessible as |max__x|, |max__y|, |min__x| and |min__y|.
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{n}|=|\meta{count}  The child's sequence number in the list of its parent's

-%
-%   The enumeration starts with 1.  For the root node, \keyname{n} equals $0$. 
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{n'}|=|\meta{count}  Like \ikeyname{n}, but starts counting at the last child.
-%
-%   In |pgfmath| expressions, this option is accessible as |n__|.
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{n children}|=|\meta{count} The number of children of the node.
-%   
-%   In |pgfmath| expressions, this option is accessible as |n__children|.
-% \end{syntax}
-% 
-% \subsubsection{Miscellaneous}
-% \label{ref:miscellaneous}
-%
-% \begin{syntax}
-%   \rkeyname[item]{afterthought}|=|\meta{toks}  Provides the afterthought explicitely.
-%
-%   This key is normally not used by the end-user, but rather called by the bracket parser.  By
-%   default, this key is a style defined by |afterthought/.style={tikz+={#1}}|: afterthoughts are
-%   interpreted as (cumulative) \TikZ; code.  If you'd like to use afterthoughts for some other
-%   purpose, redefine the key --- this will take effect even if you do it in the tree preamble.
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{alias}|=|\meta{toks} Sets the alias for the node's name.
-%
-%   Unlike \ikeyname{name}, \keyname{alias} is \emph{not} an option: you cannot e.g.\ query it's
-%   value via a |pgfmath| expression.
-%
-%   Aliases can be used as the \meta{forest node name} part of a relative node name and as the
-%   argument to the \ikeyname{name,aspect=step} step of a node walk.  The latter includes the usage
-%   as the argument of the \ikeyname{id={{for }}}\ikeyname{name} propagator.
-%
-%   Technically speaking, \foRest; alias is \emph{not} a \TikZ; alias!  However, you can still use
-%   it as a ``node name'' in \TikZ; coordinates, since \foRest; hacks \TikZ;'s implicit node
-%   coordinate system to accept relative node names; see \S\ref{ref:forest-cs}.
-%
-%   \rkeyname[item]{baseline} The node's anchor becomes the baseline of the whole tree
-%   \citep[cf.][\S69.3.1]{tikzpgf2.10}.
-%
-%   In plain language, when the tree is inserted in your (normal \TeX) text, it will be vertically
-%   aligned to the anchor of the current node.
-%
-%   Behind the scenes, this style sets the alias of the current node to \keyname{forest@baseline@node}.

-% \rkeyname[item=\end{tikzpicture}]{end draw}|/.code=|\meta{toks: \TeX\ code}
-%
-% The code produced by \ikeyname{draw tree} is put in the environment specified by \keyname{begin
-% draw} and \keyname{end draw}.  Thus, it is this environment, normally a |tikzpicture|, that does
-% the actual drawing.
-%
-% A common use of these keys might be to enclose the |tikzpicture| environment in a |center|
-% environment, thereby automatically centering all trees; or, to provide the \TikZ; code to execute
-% at the beginning and/or end of the picture.
-%
-% Note that \keyname{begin draw} and \keyname{end draw} are \emph{not} node options: they are
-% |\pgfkeys|' code-storing keys \citep[\S55.4.3--4]{tikzpgf2.10}.

-% \rkeyname[item={{{{{}}}}}]{end forest}|/.code=|\meta{toks: \TeX\ code}
-%
-% The code stored in these (|\pgfkeys|) keys is executed at the beginning and end of the
-% \ikeyname{forest} environment / \icmdname{Forest} macro.  
-%
-% Using these keys is only effective \emph{outside} the \ikeyname{forest} environment, and the
-% effect lasts until the end of the current \TeX\ group.
-%
-% For example, executing \icmdname{forestset}|{begin forest/.code=\small}| will typeset all trees (and only
-% trees) in the small font size.  
-%
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{fit to tree}  Fits the \TikZ; node to the current node's subtree.
-%
-% This key should be used like \keyname{/tikz/fit} of the \TikZ;'s fitting library
-% \citep[see][\S34]{tikzpgf2.10}: as an option to \emph{\TikZ;'s} |node| operation, the obvious
-% restriction being that \keyname{fit to tree} must be used in the context of some \foRest; node.
-% For an example, see footnote~\ref{fn:fit-to-tree}.
-%
-% This key works by calling \keyname{/tikz/fit} and providing it with the the coordinates of the
-% subtree's boundary.
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{get min s tree boundary}|=|\meta{cs} \vspace{-\parskip}
-% \rkeyname[item]{get max s tree boundary}|=|\meta{cs}
-%
-% Puts the boundary computed during the packing process into the given \meta{cs}.  The boundary is
-% in the form of \PGF; path.  The |min| and |max| versions give the two sides of the node.  For an
-% example, see how the boundaries in the discussion of \ikeyname{fit} were drawn.
-%
-%   \rkeyname[item]{label}|=|\meta{toks: \TikZ; node}  The current node is labelled by a \TikZ; node.
-%
-%   The label is specified as a \TikZ; option \texttt{label} \citep[\S16.10]{tikzpgf2.10}.
-%   Technically, the value of this option is passed to \TikZ;'s as a late option
-%   \citep[\S16.14]{tikzpgf2.10}.  (This is so because \foRest; must first typeset the nodes
-%   separately to measure them (stage \ikeyname{typeset nodes}); the preconstructed nodes are inserted
-%   in the big picture later, at stage \ikeyname{draw tree}.)  Another option with the same
-%   technicality is \ikeyname{pin}. 
-%
-%   \rkeyname[item]{name}|=|\meta{toks} Sets the name of the node.\hfill\texttt{node@}\meta{id}
-%
-%   The expansion of \meta{toks} becomes the \meta{forest node name} of the node.  Node names must
-%   be unique.  The \TikZ; node created from the \foRest; node will get the name specified by this
-%   option.
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{node walk}|=|\meta{node walk}  This key is the most general way to use a \meta{node
-%   walk}.
-%
-%   Before starting the \meta{node walk}, key \rkeyname{id={node walk/before walk}} is processed.
-%   Then, the \meta{step}s composing the \meta{node walk} are processed: making a step (normally)
-%   changes the current node.  After every step, key \rkeyname{id={node walk/every step}} is
-%   processed.  After the walk, key \rkeyname{id={node walk/after walk}} is processed.
-%
-%   \keyname{node walk/before walk}, \keyname{node walk/every step} and \keyname{node walk/after
-%   walk} are processed with \keyname{/forest} as the default path: thus, \foRest;'s options and
-%   keys described in \S\ref{ref:options-and-keys} can be used normally inside their definitions.
-%
-%   \begin{advise}
-%   \item Node walks can be tail-recursive, i.e.\ you can call another node walk from \keyname{node
-%     walk/after walk} --- embedding another node walk in \keyname{node walk/before walk} or
-%     \keyname{node walk/every step} will probably fail, because the three node walk styles are not
-%     saved and restored (a node walk doesn't create a \TeX\ group).
-%   \item \keyname{every step} and \keyname{after walk} can be redefined even during the walk.
-%     Obviously, redefining \keyname{before walk} during the walk has no effect (in the current
-%     walk).
-%   \end{advise}
-%
-%   \rkeyname[item]{pin}|=|\meta{toks: \TikZ; node}  The current node gets a pin, see
-%   \citep[\S16.10]{tikzpgf2.10}. 
-%
-%   The technical details are the same as for \ikeyname{label}.
-%
-%   \rkeyname[item]{use as bounding box} The current node's box is used as a bounding box for the
-%   whole tree.
-%
-%   \rkeyname[item]{use as bounding box'} Like \ikeyname{use as bounding box}, but subtracts the
-%   (current) inner and outer sep from the node's box.  For an example, see \ikeyname{baseline}.
-%   
-%   \rkeyname[item]{TeX}|=|\meta{toks: \TeX\ code} The given code is executed immediately.
-%
-%   This can be used for e.g.\ enumerating nodes:
-% \begin{forestexample}[point=TeX,ekeynames={TeX,delay,where ,tier,content,GP1},label=ex:enumerate]
-%   \newcount\xcount
-%   \begin{forest} GP1,

-%       [R[N[x]]]
-%     ]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{TeX'}|=|\meta{toks: \TeX\ code} This key is a combination of keys \ikeyname{TeX}
-% and \ikeyname{TeX''}: the given code is both executed and externalized.
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{TeX''}|=|\meta{toks: \TeX\ code} The given code is externalized, i.e.\ it will be
-% executed when the externalized images are loaded.
-%
-% The image-loading and \keyname{TeX'(')} produced code are intertwined.
-%
-%   \rkeyname[item={{{{{}}}}}]{tikz}|=|\meta{toks: \TikZ; code}  ``Decorations.''
-%
-%   The code given as the value of this option will be included in the |tikzpicture| environment
-%   used to draw the tree.  The code given to various nodes is appended in a depth-first,
-%   parent-first fashion.  The code is included after all nodes of the tree have been drawn, so it
-%   can refer to any node of the tree.  Furthermore, relative node names can be used to refer to
-%   nodes of the tree, see \S\ref{ref:relative-node-names}.
-%
-%   By default, bracket parser's afterthoughts feed the value of this option.  See
-%   \ikeyname{afterthought}. 
-%
-% \end{syntax}
-% 
-% \subsubsection{Propagators}
-% \label{ref:propagators}
-% 
-% Propagators pass the given \meta{keylist} to other node(s), delay their processing, or cause them
-% to be processed only under certain conditions.
-%
-% A propagator can never fail --- i.e.\ if you use \keyname{for next} on the last child of some node,
-% no error will arise: the \meta{keylist} will simply not be passed to any node. (The generic
-% node walk propagator \keyname{for} is
-% an exception.  While it will not fail if the final node of the walk does not exist (is null), its node walk
-% can fail when trying to walk away from the null node.)
-%
-% \paragraph{Spatial propagators}
-% pass the given \meta{keylist} to other node(s) in the tree.  (\keyname{for} and \keyname{for
-% }\meta{step} always pass the \meta{keylist} to a single node.)
-%
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item]{for}|=|\meta{node walk}\meta{keylist}  Processes \meta{keylist} in the context of the final

-% \rkeyname[item]{id={{for }}}\meta{step}|=|\meta{keylist}  Walks a single-step node-walk
-% \meta{step} from the current node and passes the given \meta{keylist} to the final (i.e.\ second) node.
-%
-% \meta{step} must be a long node walk step; see \S\ref{ref:node-walk}. \keyname{for
-% }\meta{step}|=|\meta{keylist} is equivalent to \ikeyname{for}|=|\meta{step}{keylist}.

-% 
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item]{if}|=|\meta{pgfmath condition}\meta{true keylist}\meta{false keylist}
-%
-% If \meta{pgfmath condition} evaluates to |true| (non-zero), \meta{true keylist} is processed (in

-% 
-% \rkeyname[item]{id={{if }}}\meta{option}|=|\meta{value}\meta{true keylist}\meta{false keylist}
-%
-% A simple conditional is defined for every \meta{option}: if \meta{value} equals the value of the

-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{where}|=|\meta{value}\meta{true keylist}\meta{false keylist}

-%   
-% \rkeyname[item]{id={{where in }}}\meta{toks option}|=|\meta{toks}\meta{true keylist}\meta{false keylist}
-% 
-% A style equivalent to \ikeyname{for tree}|=|\ikeyname{id={{if in }}}\meta{option}=\meta{toks}\meta{true

-% 
-% This conditional is defined only for \meta{toks} options, see \S\ref{ref:options-and-keys}.
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% \paragraph{Temporal propagators}
-% There are two kinds of temporal propagators.  The |before_...| propagators defer the processing of
-% the given keys to a hook just before some stage in the computation.  The \keyname{delay}
-% propagator is ``internal'' to the current hook (the first hook, the given options, is
-% implicit): the keys in a hook are processed cyclically, and \keyname{delay} delays the
-% processing of the given options until the next cycle.  All these keys can be nested without
-% limit. For details, see~\S\ref{ref:stages}.
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item]{delay}|=|\meta{keylist} Defers the processing of the \meta{keylist} until the next
-%   cycle.
-% \rkeyname[item]{delay n}|=|\meta{integer}\meta{keylist} Defers the processing of the
-%   \meta{keylist} for $n$ cycles.  $n$ may be $0$, and it may be given as a |pgfmath| expression.
-% \rkeyname[item]{if have delayed}|=|\meta{true keylist}\meta{false keylist}  If any options were
-%   delayed in the current cycle (more precisely, up to the point of the execution of this key),
-%   process \meta{true keylist}, otherwise process \meta{false keylist}.  (\ikeyname{delay n} will
-%   trigger ``true'' for the intermediate cycles.)
-% \rkeyname[item]{before typesetting nodes}|=|\meta{keylist}  Defers the processing of the
-%   \meta{keylist} to until just before the nodes are typeset.
-% \rkeyname[item]{before packing}|=|\meta{keylist}  Defers the processing of the
-%   \meta{keylist} to until just before the nodes are packed.
-% \rkeyname[item]{before computing xy}|=|\meta{keylist}  Defers the processing of the
-%   \meta{keylist} to until just before the absolute positions of the nodes are computed.
-% \rkeyname[item]{before drawing tree}|=|\meta{keylist}  Defers the processing of the
-%   \meta{keylist} to until just before the tree is drawn.
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% \paragraph{Other propagators}
-% \begin{syntax}
-%   \rkeyname[item]{repeat}|=|\meta{number}\meta{keylist}  The \meta{keylist} is processed \meta{number}
-%   times.
-%
-%   The \meta{number} expression is evaluated using |pgfmath|.  Propagator \keyname{repeat} also
-%   works in node walks.
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% \subsubsection{Stages}
-% \label{ref:stages}
-%
-% \FoRest; does its job in several steps.  The normal course of events is the following:
-% \begin{enumerate}
-% \item\label{step:parsing-bracket} The bracket representation of the tree if parsed and stored in a
-%   data structure.
-% \item\label{step:given-options} The given options are processed, including the options in the
-%   preamble, which are processed first (in the context of the root node).
-% \item\label{step:typeset-nodes} Each node is typeset in its own |tikzpicture| environment, saved
-%   in a box and its measures are taken.
-% \item\label{step:pack} The nodes of the tree are \emph{packed}, i.e.\ the relative positions of the nodes are
-%   computed so that the nodes don't overlap.  That's difficult.  The result: option \ikeyname{s} is
-%   set for all nodes.  (Sometimes, the value of \ikeyname{l} is adjusted as well.)
-% \item\label{step:compute-xy} Absolute positions, or rather, positions of the nodes relative to the
-%   root node are computed.  That's easy.  The result: options \ikeyname{x} and \ikeyname{y} are
-%   set.
-% \item\label{step:draw-tree} The \TikZ; code that will draw the tree is produced.  (The nodes are
-%   drawn by using the boxes typeset in step~\ref{step:typeset-nodes}.)
-% \end{enumerate}
-%
-% Steps~\ref{step:parsing-bracket} and \ref{step:given-options} collect user input and are thus
-% ``fixed''.  However, the other steps, which do the actual work, are under user's control.
-%
-% First, hooks exist which make it possible (and easy) to change node's properties between the
-% processing stages.  For a simple example, see example~\ref{ex:adjustxy}: the manual adjustment of
-% \ikeyname{y} can only be done after the absolute positions have been computed, so the processing
-% of this option is deferred by \ikeyname{before drawing tree}.  For a more realistic example, see
-% the definition of style \ikeyname{GP1}: before packing, \texttt{outer xsep} is set to a high (user
-% determined) value to keep the $\times$s uniformly spaced; before drawing the tree, the
-% \texttt{outer xsep} is set to \texttt{0pt} to make the arrows look better.
-% 
-% Second, the execution of the processing stages \ref{step:typeset-nodes}--\ref{step:draw-tree} is
-% \emph{completely} under user's control.  To facilitate adjusting the processing flow, the approach
-% is twofold.  The outer level: \foRest; initiates the processing by executing style
-% \keyname{stages}, which by default executes the processing stages
-% \ref{step:typeset-nodes}--\ref{step:draw-tree}, preceding the execution of each stage by
-% processing the options embedded in temporal propagators \keyname{before ...} (see
-% \S\ref{ref:propagators}).  The inner level: each processing step is the sole resident of a
-% stage-style, which makes it easy to adjust the workings of a single step.  What follows is the
-% default content of style \keyname{stages}, including the default content of the individual
-% stage-styles.  
-% \begin{syntax}
-%   \rkeyname[item]{stages}
-%   \begin{syntax}
-%     \item \ikeyname{process keylist}|=|\ikeyname{before typesetting nodes}
-%     \rkeyname[item]{typeset nodes stage}\hfill
-%       |{|\ikeyname{id={{for }}}\ikeyname{root'}|=|\ikeyname{typeset nodes}|}|
-%     \item \ikeyname{process keylist}|=|\ikeyname{before packing}
-%     \rkeyname[item]{pack stage}\hfill
-%       |{|\ikeyname{id={{for }}}\ikeyname{root'}|=|\ikeyname{pack}|}|
-%     \item \ikeyname{process keylist}|=|\ikeyname{before computing xy}
-%     \rkeyname[item]{compute xy stage}\hfill
-%       |{|\ikeyname{id={{for }}}\ikeyname{root'}|=|\ikeyname{compute xy}|}|
-%     \item \ikeyname{process keylist}|=|\ikeyname{before drawing tree}
-%     \rkeyname[item]{draw tree stage}\hfill
-%       |{|\ikeyname{id={{for }}}\ikeyname{root'}|=|\ikeyname{draw tree}|}|
-%   \end{syntax}
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% Both style \keyname{stages} and the individual stage-styles may be freely modified by the user.
-% Obviously, a style must be redefined before it is processed, so it is safest to do so either
-% outside the \ikeyname{forest} environment (using macro \icmdname{forestset}) or in the preamble
-% (in a non-deferred fashion).
-% 
-% Here's the list of keys used either in the default processing or useful in an alternative
-% processing flow.
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item]{typeset nodes} Typesets each node of the current node's subtree in its own
-%   |tikzpicture| environment.  The result is saved in a box and its measures are taken.
-% 
-% \rkeyname[item]{typeset nodes'}  Like \ikeyname{typeset nodes}, but the node box's content is not
-%   overwritten if the box already exists.
-%   
-% \rkeyname[item]{typeset node}  Typesets the \emph{current} node, saving the result in the node box.
-%
-%   This key can be useful also in the default \ikeyname{stages}.  If, for example, the node's content
-%   is changed and the node retypeset just before drawing the tree, the node will be positioned as if
-%   it contained the ``old'' content, but have the new content: this is how the constant distance
-%   between $\times$s is implemented in the \ikeyname{GP1} style.
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{pack} The nodes of the tree are \emph{packed}, i.e.\ the relative positions of
-%   the nodes are computed so that the nodes don't overlap.  The result: option \ikeyname{s} is set
-%   for all nodes; sometimes (in tier alignment and for some values of \ikeyname{calign}), the value
-%   of some nodes' \ikeyname{l} is adjusted as well.
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{pack'} ``Non-recursive'' packing: packs the children of the current node only.
-%   (Experimental, use with care, especially when combining with tier alignment.)
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{compute xy} Computes the positions of the nodes relative to the (formal) root
-%   node.  The results are stored into options \ikeyname{x} and \ikeyname{y}.
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{draw tree} Produces the \TikZ; code that will draw the tree.  First, the nodes
-%   are drawn (using the boxes typeset in step~\ref{step:typeset-nodes}), followed by edges and
-%   custom code (see option \ikeyname{tikz}).
-%   
-% \rkeyname[item]{draw tree'} Like \ikeyname{draw tree}, but the node boxes are included in the
-%   picture using \cmdname{copy}, not \cmdname{box}, thereby preserving them.     
-%   
-% \rkeyname[item]{draw tree box}|=|[\meta{\TeX\ box}]  The picture drawn by the subsequent
-%   invocations of \ikeyname{draw tree} and \ikeyname{draw tree'} is put into \meta{\TeX\ box}.  If
-%   the argument is omitted, the subsequent pictures are typeset normally (the default).
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{process keylist}|=|\meta{keylist option name}  Processes the keylist saved in
-%   option \meta{keylist option name} for all the nodes in the \emph{whole} tree.
-%
-%   This key is not sensitive to the current node: it processes the keylists for the whole tree.
-%   The calls of this key should \emph{not} be nested.
-%
-%   Keylist-processing proceeds in cycles.  In a given cycle, the value of option \meta{keylist
-%   option name} is processed for every node, in a recursive (parent-first, depth-first) fashion.
-%   During a cycle, keys may be \emph{delayed} using key \ikeyname{delay}.  (Keys of the dynamically
-%   created nodes are automatically delayed.) Keys delayed in a cycle are processed in the next
-%   cycle.  The number of cycles in unlimited.  When no keys are delayed in a cycle, the processing
-%   of a hook is finished.
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% \subsubsection{Dynamic tree}
-% \label{ref:dynamic}
-%
-% The following keys can be used to change the geometry of the tree by creating new nodes and
-% integrating them into the tree, moving and copying nodes around the tree, and removing nodes from
-% the tree.
-% 
-% The node that will be (re)integrated into the tree can be specified in the following ways:
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \item \meta{empty}: uses the last (non-integrated, i.e.\ created/removed/replaced) node.
-% \item \meta{node}: a new node is created using the given bracket representation (the node may
-%   contain children, i.e.\ a tree may be specified), and used as the argument to the key.
-%
-%   The bracket representation must be enclosed in brackets, which will usually be enclosed in
-%   braces to prevent them being parsed while parsing the ``host tree.''
-% \item \imeta{relative node name}: the node \meta{relative node name} resolves to will be used.
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% Here is the list of dynamic tree keys:
-% 
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item]{append}|=|\meta{empty}\OR|[|\meta{node}|]|\OR\meta{relative node name}
-% 
-%   The specified node becomes the new final child of the current node.  If the specified node had a
-%   parent, it is first removed from its old position.
-%   
-% \begin{forestexample}[label=ex:append,point=append,ekeynames={append,delay,for tree,n,content,n',repeat}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     before typesetting nodes={for tree={
-%       if n=1{content=L}
-%            {if n'=1{content=R}
-%                     {content=C}}}}
-%     [,repeat=2{append={[
-%       ,repeat=3{append={[]}}
-%     ]}}]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-%
-% \rkeyname[item]{create}|=[|\meta{node}|]|
-%
-% Create a new node. The new node becomes the last node.
-% 
-% \rkeyname[item]{insert after}|=|\meta{empty}\OR|[|\meta{node}|]|\OR\meta{relative node name}
-% 
-%   The specified node becomes the new following sibling of the current node.  If the specified node had a
-%   parent, it is first removed from its old position.
-%   
-% \rkeyname[item]{insert before}|=|\meta{empty}\OR|[|\meta{node}|]|\OR\meta{relative node name}
-% 
-%   The specified node becomes the new previous sibling of the current node.  If the specified node had a
-%   parent, it is first removed from its old position.
-%   
-% \rkeyname[item]{prepend}|=|\meta{empty}\OR|[|\meta{node}|]|\OR\meta{relative node name}
-% 
-%   The specified node becomes the new first child of the current node.  If the specified node had a
-%   parent, it is first removed from its old position.
-%   
-% \rkeyname[item]{remove}
-%
-% The current node is removed from the tree and becomes the last node.
-%
-% The node itself is not deleted: it is just not integrated in the tree anymore.  Removing the root
-% node has no effect.
-% 
-% \rkeyname[item]{replace by}|=|\meta{empty}\OR|[|\meta{node}|]|\OR\meta{relative node name}
-% 
-%   The current node is replaced by the specified node.  The current node becomes the last node.
-%
-%   It the specified node is a new node containing a dynamic tree key, it can refer to the replaced
-%   node by the \meta{empty} specification.  This works even if multiple replacements are made.
-%   
-%   If \keyname{replace by} is used on the root node, the ``replacement'' becomes the root node
-%   (\ikeyname{set root} is used). 
-%
-%   \rkeyname[item]{set root}
-%
-% The current node becomes the new \emph{formal} root of the tree.
-%
-% Note: If the current node has a parent, it is \emph{not} removed from it.  The node becomes the
-% root only in the sense that the default implementation of stage-processing will consider it a
-% root, and thus typeset/pack/draw the (sub)tree rooted in this root.  The processing of keys such
-% as \ikeyname{for parent} and \ikeyname{for root} is not affected: \ikeyname{for root} finds the
-% real, geometric root of the current node.  To access the formal root, use node walk step
-% \ikeyname{root'}, or the corresponding propagator \ikeyname{id={{for }}}\ikeyname{root'}.
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% If given an existing node, most of the above keys \emph{move} this node
-% (and its subtree, of course).  Below are the versions of these operations which rather \emph{copy}
-% the node: either the whole subtree (|'|) or just the node itself (|''|).
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item]{append'}, \rkeyname{insert after'}, \rkeyname{insert before'}, \rkeyname{prepend'},
-%   \rkeyname{replace by'}
-%
-%   Same as versions without |'| (also the same arguments), but it is the copy of the specified node
-%   and its subtree that is integrated in the new place.
-% \rkeyname[item]{append''}, \rkeyname{insert after''}, \rkeyname{insert before''}, \rkeyname{prepend''},
-%   \rkeyname{replace by''}
-%
-%   Same as versions without |''| (also the same arguments), but it is the copy of the specified node
-%   (without its subtree) that is integrated in the new place.
-% \rkeyname[item]{copy name template}|=|\meta{empty}\OR\meta{macro definition} \hfill\meta{empty}
-% 
-% Defines a template for constructing the \ikeyname{name} of the copy from the name of the
-% original.  \meta{macro definition} should be either empty (then, the \ikeyname{name} is
-% constructed from the \ikeyname{id=id}, as usual), or an expandable macro taking one argument (the
-% name of the original).
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% \begin{advise}
-% \item You might want to \ikeyname{delay} the processing of the copying operations, giving the
-%   original nodes the chance to process their keys first!
-% \end{advise}
-% 
-% \begin{forestexample}
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     copy name template={copy of #1}
-%     [CP,delay={prepend'=subject}
-%       [VP[DP,name=subject[D][NP]][V'[V][DP]]]]
-%     \draw[->,dotted] (subject)--(copy of subject);
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-%
-% A dynamic tree operation is made in two steps:
-% \begin{itemize}
-% \item If the argument is given by a \meta{node} argument, the new node is created immediately,
-%   i.e.\ while the dynamic tree key is being processed.  Any options of the new node are
-%   implicitely \ikeyname{delay}ed. 
-% \item The requested changes in the tree structure are actually made between the cycles of keylist
-%   processing.
-% \end{itemize}
-% 
-% \begin{advise}
-% \item Such a two-stage approach is employed because changing the tree structure during the dynamic
-%   tree key processing would lead to an unmanageable order of keylist processing.
-% \item A consequence of this approach is that nested dynamic tree keys take several cycles to
-%   complete.  Therefore, be careful when using \ikeyname{delay} and dynamic tree keys
-%   simultaneously: in such a case, it is often safer to use \ikeyname{before typesetting nodes}
-%   instead of \ikeyname{delay}, see example \ref{ex:append}.
-% \item Further examples: title page (in style |random tree|), \ref{ex:xlist}.
-% \end{advise}
-%
-% \subsection{Handlers}
-% \label{ref:handlers}
-%
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item]{id=.pgfmath,nfc}|=|\meta{pgfmath expression}
-%
-% The result is the evaluation of \meta{pgfmath expression} in the context of the current node.
-% 
-% \rkeyname[item]{id=.wrap value,nfc}|=|\meta{macro definition}
-%
-% The result is the (single) expansion of the given
-%   \meta{macro definition}.  The defined macro takes one parameter.  The current value of the
-%   handled option will be passed as that parameter.
-%   
-% \rkeyname[item]{id=.wrap $n$ pgfmath args,nfc}|=|\meta{macro definition}\meta{arg $1$}\dots\meta{arg $n$}
-% 
-%   The result is the (single) expansion of the given \meta{macro definition}.  The defined macro
-%   takes $n$ parameters, where $n\in\{2,\dots,8\}$.  Expressions \meta{arg $1$} to \meta{arg $n$}
-%   are evaluated using |pgfmath| and passed as arguments to the defined macro.
-%   
-% \rkeyname[item]{id=.wrap pgfmath arg,nfc}|=|\meta{macro definition}\meta{arg}
-%
-% Like \ikeyname{id=.wrap $n$ pgfmath args,nfc} for $n=1$. 
-% \end{syntax}
-% 
-% \subsection{Relative node names}
-% \label{ref:relative-node-names}
-%
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \item\rmeta{relative node name}|=|[\meta{forest node name}][|!|\meta{node walk}]
-%
-%   \meta{relative node name} refers to the \foRest; node at the end of the \meta{node walk}
-%   starting at node named \meta{forest node name}.  If \meta{forest node name} is omitted, the walk
-%   starts at the current node.  If \meta{node walk} is omitted, the ``walk'' ends at the start
-%   node.   (Thus, an empty \meta{relative node name} refers to the current node.)
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% Relative node names can be used in the following contexts:
-% \begin{itemize}
-% \item \FoRest;'s |pgfmath| option functions (\S\ref{ref:pgfmath}) take a relative node name as
-%   their argument, e.g.\ |content("!u")| and |content("!parent")| refer to the content of the
-%   parent node.
-% \item An option of a non-current node can be set by \meta{relative node name}|.|\meta{option
-%   name}|=|\meta{value}, see \S\ref{ref:options-and-keys}.
-% \item The |forest| coordinate system, both explicit and implicit; see \S\ref{ref:forest-cs}.
-% \end{itemize}
-%
-% \subsubsection{Node walk}
-% \label{ref:node-walk}
-%
-% A \rmeta{node walk} is a sequence of \rmeta{step}s describing a path through the tree.  
-% The primary use of node walks is in relative node names.  However, they can also be used in a
-% ``standalone'' way, using key \ikeyname{node walk}; see \S\ref{ref:miscellaneous}.
-%
-% Steps are keys in the \keyname{/forest/node walk} path.  (\foRest; always sets this path as
-% default when a node walk is to be used, so step keynames can be used.)  Formally, a \meta{node
-% walk} is thus a keylist, and steps must be separated by commas.  There is a twist, however.  Some
-% steps also have \emph{short} names, which consist of a single character.  The comma between two
-% adjacent short steps can be omitted.  Examples:
-% \begin{itemize}
-% \item |parent,parent,n=2| or |uu2|: the grandparent's second child (of the current node)
-% \item |first leaf,uu|: the grandparent of the first leaf (of the current node)
-% \end{itemize}
-% The list of long steps:
-% \newcommand\nwritem[1]{\rkeyname[item]{#1,aspect=step}\ekeyname{for #1,aspect=propagator,def}}
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \nwritem{current} an ``empty'' step: the current node remains the same\footnote{While it
-%   might at first sight seem stupid to have an empty step, this is not the case.  For example,
-%   using propagator \ikeyname{for current} derived from this step, one can process a \meta{keylist}
-%   constructed using \texttt{.wrap (n) pgfmath arg(s)}\ekeyname{id=.wrap 
-%   pgfmath arg,nfc}\ekeyname{id=.wrap $n$ pgfmath args,nfc} or \ikeyname{id=.wrap value,nfc}.} 
-% \nwritem{first} the primary child
-% \nwritem{first leaf} the first leaf (terminal node)
-% \rkeyname[item]{group,aspect=step}|=|\meta{node walk}  treat the given \meta{node walk} as a single step
-% \nwritem{last} the last child
-% \nwritem{last leaf} the last leaf
-% \nwritem{id=id}|=|\meta{id} the node with the given id
-% \nwritem{linear next} the next node, in the processing order 
-% \nwritem{linear previous} the previous node, in the processing order 
-% \nwritem{n}|=|$n$ the $n$th child; counting starts at $1$ (not $0$)
-% \nwritem{n'}|=|$n$ the $n$th child, starting the count from the last child
-% \nwritem{name} the node with the given name
-% \nwritem{next} the next sibling 
-% \nwritem{next leaf} the next leaf
-%
-% (the current node need not be a leaf) 
-% \nwritem{next on tier} the next node on the same tier as the current node 
-% \rkeyname[item]{node walk,aspect=step}|=|\meta{node walk}  embed the given \meta{node walk}
-%
-% (the \ikeyname{id={node walk/before walk}} and \ikeyname{id={node walk/after walk}} are processed)
-% \nwritem{parent} the parent 
-% \nwritem{previous} the previous sibling 
-% \nwritem{previous leaf} the previous leaf
-%
-% (the current node need not be a leaf) 
-% \nwritem{previous on tier} the next node on the same tier as the current node 
-% \rkeyname[item]{repeat}|=|$n$\meta{node walk} repeat the given \meta{node walk} $n$ times
-%
-% (each step in every repetition counts as a step)
-% \nwritem{root} the root node
-% \nwritem{root'} the formal root node (see \ikeyname{set root} in \S\ref{ref:dynamic})
-% \nwritem{sibling} the sibling
-%
-% (don't use if the parent doesn't have exactly two children \dots)
-% \nwritem{to tier}|=|\meta{tier} the first ancestor of the current node on the given \meta{tier}
-% \rkeyname[item]{trip,aspect=step}|=|\meta{node walk}  after walking the embedded \meta{node walk}, return to the
-%   current node; the return does not count as a step
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% For each long \meta{step} except \keyname{node walk}, \keyname{group}, \keyname{trip} and
-% \keyname{repeat}, propagator \ikeyname{id={{for }}}\meta{step} is also defined.  Each such
-% propagator takes a \meta{keylist} argument.  If the step takes an argument, then so does its
-% propagator; this argument precedes the \meta{keylist}.  See also \S\ref{ref:propagators}.
-% 
-% Short steps are single-character keys in the \keyname{/forest/node walk} path.  They are defined

-% \subsubsection{The \texttt{forest} coordinate system}
-% \label{ref:forest-cs}
-% 
-% Unless package options \ikeyname{tikzcshack} is set to |false|, \TikZ;'s implicit node coordinate
-% system \citep[\S13.2.3]{tikzpgf2.10} is hacked to accept relative node names.\footnote{Actually,
-% the hack can be switched on and off on the fly, using \cmdname{i}\keyname{fforesttikzcshack}.}.
-% 
-% The explicit \texttt{forest} coordinate system is called simply |forest| and used like this:
-% |(forest_cs:|\meta{forest cs spec}|)|; see \citep[\S13.2.5]{tikzpgf2.10}.  \meta{forest cs spec}
-% is a keylist; the following keys are accepted.
-% 
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item]{name,aspect=forest cs}|=|\meta{node name}  The node with the given name becomed the current node.  The
-% resulting point is its (node) anchor.
-% \rkeyname[item]{id=id,aspect=forest cs}|=|\meta{node id}  The node with the given name becomed the current node. The
-% resulting point is its (node) anchor.
-% \rkeyname[item]{go,aspect=forest cs}|=|\meta{node walk}  Walk the given node walk, starting at the current node.  The node
-% at the end of the walk becomes the current node.  The resulting point is its (node) anchor.
-% \rkeyname[item]{anchor,aspect=forest cs}|=|\meta{anchor}  The resulting point is the given anchor of the current node.
-% \rkeyname[item]{l,aspect=forest cs}|=|\meta{dimen} \vspace{-\parskip}
-% \rkeyname[item]{s,aspect=forest cs}|=|\meta{dimen}  Specify the \ikeyname{l} and \ikeyname{s}
-% coordinate of the resulting point.
-%
-% The coordinate system is the node's ls-coordinate system: its origin is at its (node) anchor; the
-% l-axis points in the direction of the tree growth at the node, which is given by option
-% \ikeyname{grow};  the s-axis is orthogonal to the l-axis; the positive side is in the
-% counter-clockwise direction from |l| axis.
-%
-% The resulting point is computed only after both \ikeyname{l} and \ikeyname{s} were given. 
-% \item Any other key is interpreted as a \imeta{relative node name}[.\meta{anchor}].
-% \end{syntax}
-% 
-% \subsection{New \texttt{pgfmath} functions}
-% \label{ref:pgfmath}
-%
-% For every option, \foRest; defines a pgfmath function with the same name, with the
-% proviso that all non-alphanumeric characters in the option name are replaced by an underscore
-% |__| in the pgfmath function name.
-%
-% Pgfmath functions corresponding to options take one argument, a \imeta{relative node name}
-% (see~\S\ref{ref:relative-node-names}) expression, making it possible to refer to option values of
-% non-current nodes.  The \meta{relative node name} expression must be enclosed in double quotes in
-% order to 
-% prevent pgfmath evaluation: for example, to refer to the content of the parent, write
-% \ikeyname{content}|("!u")|.  To refer to the option of the current node, use empty parentheses:
-% \ikeyname{content}|()|.\footnote{In most cases, the parentheses are optional, so \texttt{content}
-% is ok.  A known case where this doesn't work is preceding an operator: \texttt{l+1cm} will fail.}
-% 
-% Three string functions are also added to |pgfmath|: \rkeyname{strequal} tests the equality of
-% its two arguments; \rkeyname{instr} tests if the first string is a substring of the second one;
-% \rkeyname{strcat} joins an arbitrary number of strings.
-%
-% Some random notes on |pgfmath|: \begin{inparaenum}[(i)]
-% \item |&&|, \verb!||! and |!| are boolean ``and'', ``or'' and ``not'', respectively.
-% \item The equality operator (for numbers and dimensions) is |==|, \emph{not} |=|.

-% \subsection{Standard node}
-% \label{ref:standard-node}
-%
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \item\rcmdname{forestStandardNode}\meta{node}\meta{environment fingerprint}\meta{calibration
-%   procedure}\meta{exported options}
-%
-%   This macro defines the current \emph{standard node}.  The standard node declares some options as
-%   \emph{exported}.  When a new node is created, the values of the exported options are initialized
-%   from the standard node.  At the beginning of every \ikeyname{forest} environment, it is checked whether
-%   the \emph{environment fingerprint} of the standard node has changed.  If it did, the standard
-%   node is \emph{calibrated}, adjusting the values of exported options.  The \emph{raison d'etre} for
-%   such a system is given in \S\ref{sec:defaults}.
-%
-%   In \meta{node}, the standard node's content and possibly other options are specified, using the
-%   usual bracket representation.  The \meta{node}, however, \emph{must not contain children}.  The
-%   default: \texttt{[dj]}.
-%
-%   The \meta{environment fingerprint} must be an expandable macro definition.  It's expansion
-%   should change whenever the calibration is necessary.
-%
-%   \meta{calibration procedure} is a keylist (processed in the |/forest| path) which calculates the
-%   values of exported options.
-%
-%   \meta{exported options} is a comma-separated list of exported options.
-%
-%   This is how the default standard node is created:
-% \begin{lstlisting}
-%   \forestStandardNode[dj]
-%     {%
-%       \forestOve{\csname forest@id@of@standard node\endcsname}{content},%
-%       \the\ht\strutbox,\the\pgflinewidth,%
-%       \pgfkeysvalueof{/pgf/inner ysep},\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgf/outer ysep},%
-%       \pgfkeysvalueof{/pgf/inner xsep},\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgf/outer xsep}%
-%     }
-%     {
-%       l sep={\the\ht\strutbox+\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgf/inner ysep}},
-%       l={l_sep()+abs(max_y()-min_y())+2*\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgf/outer ysep}},
-%       s sep={2*\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgf/inner xsep}}
-%     }
-%     {l sep,l,s sep}
-%   \end{lstlisting}
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% \subsection{Externalization}
-% \label{ref:externalization}
-%
-% Externalized tree pictures are compiled only once. The result of the compilation is saved into a
-% separate |.pdf| file and reused on subsequent compilations of the document.  If the code of the
-% tree (or the context, see below) is changed, the tree is automatically recompiled.
-%
-% Externalization is enabled by:
-% \begin{lstlisting}
-%   \usepackage[~external~]{forest}
-%   ~\tikzexternalize~
-% \end{lstlisting}
-% Both lines are necessary.  \TikZ;'s externalization library is automatically loaded if necessary.
-%
-% \begin{syntax}
-% \rkeyname[item]{id={external/optimize}} Parallels \keyname{/tikz/external/optimize}: if |true| (the
-% default), the processing of non-current trees is skipped during the embedded compilation.
-% \rkeyname[item]{id={external/context}} If the expansion of the macro stored in
-% this option changes, the tree is recompiled.
-% \rkeyname[item]{id={external/depends on macro}}|=|\meta{cs} Adds the definition of macro \meta{cs} to
-% \keyname{external/context}.  Thus, if the definition of \meta{cs} is changed, the tree will be
-% recompiled. 
-% \end{syntax}
-%
-% \foRest; respects or is compatible with several (not all) keys and commands of \TikZ;'s
-% externalization library.  In particular, the following keys and commands might be useful; see
-% \cite[\S32]{tikzpgf2.10}.
-% \begin{itemize}
-% \item\keyname{/tikz/external/remake next}
-% \item\keyname{/tikz/external/prefix}
-% \item\keyname{/tikz/external/system call}
-% \item\cmdname{tikzexternalize}
-% \item\cmdname{tikzexternalenable}
-% \item\cmdname{tikzexternaldisable}
-% \end{itemize}
-% \FoRest; does not disturbe the externalization of non-\foRest; pictures. (At least it
-% shouldn't \dots)
-%
-% The main auxiliary file for externalization has suffix |.for|.  The externalized pictures have
-% suffices |-forest-|$n$ (their prefix can be set by \keyname{/tikz/external/prefix}, e.g.\ to a
-% subdirectory).  Information on all trees that were ever externalized in the document (even if
-% they were changed or deleted) is kept.  If you need a ``clean'' |.for| file, delete it and
-% recompile.  Deleting |-forest-|$n$|.pdf| will result in recompilation of a specific tree.
-%
-% Using \keyname{draw tree} and \keyname{draw tree'} multiple times \emph{is} compatible with
-% externalization, as is drawing the tree in the box (see \ikeyname{draw tree box}).  If you are
-% trying to externalize a \ikeyname{forest} environment which utilizes \ikeyname{TeX} to produce a
-% visible effect, you will probably need to use \ikeyname{TeX'} and/or \ikeyname{TeX''}.

-% \paragraph{nice empty nodes} 
-% We often need empty nodes: tree (a) shows how they look like by

-%
-% Second, the empty nodes seem too close
-% to the other (especially empty) nodes (this is a result of a small
-% default |s_sep|).  We could use a greater \ikeyname{s sep}, but a better solution seems
-% to be to use |calign=node_angle|.  The result is shown in (c). 
-%
-% However, at the transitions from empty to non-empty nodes, tree (d)
-% above seems to zigzag (although the base points of the spine nodes
-% are perfectly in line), and the edge to the empty node left to VP
-% seems too long (it reaches to the level of VP's base, while we'd
-% prefer it to stop at the same level as the edge to VP itself).  The
-% first problem is solved by substituting |node_angle| for
-% |edge_angle|; the second one, by anchoring siblings of
-% empty nodes at north.

-% \section{Known bugs}
-% \label{sec:bugs}
-%
-% If you find a bug (there are bound to be some \dots), please contact
-% me at \href{mailto:saso.zivanovic@guest.arnes.si}{saso.zivanovic@guest.arnes.si}.
-%
-% \paragraph{System requirements} This package requires \LaTeX\ and e\TeX.  If you use something
-% else: sorry.
-%
-% The requirement for \LaTeX\ might be dropped in the future, when I get some time and energy for a
-% code-cleanup (read: to remedy the consequences of my bad programming practices and general
-% disorganization).
-%
-% The requirement for e\TeX\ will probably stay.  If nothing else, \foRest; is heavy on boxes: every
-% node requires its own \dots\ and consequently, I have freely used e\TeX\ constructs in the code
-% \dots
-%
-% \paragraph{\PGF; internals} \FoRest; relies on some details of \PGF; implementation, like the name
-% of the ``not yet positioned'' nodes.  Thus, a new bug might appear with the development of \PGF;.
-% If you notice one, please let me know.
-%
-% \paragraph{Edges cutting through sibling nodes}
-% \label{sec:cutting-edge}
-%
-% In the following example, the R--B edge crosses the AAA node, although \ikeyname{ignore edge} is
-% set to the default |false|.
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={calign,{first,aspect=calign},align,{center,aspect=align},base,{bottom,aspect=base}}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     calign=first
-%     [R[AAAAAAAAAA\\AAAAAAAAAA\\AAAAAAAAAA,align=center,base=bottom][B]]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% This happens because s-distances between the adjacent children are
-% computed before child alignment  (which is obviously the correct order in the general case), but
-% child alignment non-linearly influences the edges.  Observe that the with a different value of
-% \ikeyname{calign}, the problem does not arise. 
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={calign,{last,aspect=calign},align,{center,aspect=align},base,{bottom,aspect=base}}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     calign=last
-%     [R[AAAAAAAAAA\\AAAAAAAAAA\\AAAAAAAAAA,align=center,base=bottom][B]]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% While it would be possible to fix the situation after child alignment (at least for some child
-% alignment methods), I have decided against that, since the distances between siblings would soon
-% become too large.  If the AAA node in the example above was large enough, B could easily be pushed
-% off the paper.  The bottomline is, please use manual adjustment to fix such situations. 
-%
-% \paragraph{Orphans}
-% \label{sec:orphans}
-%
-% If the \ikeyname{l} coordinates of adjacent children are too different (as a result of manual adjustment or
-% tier alignment), the packing algorithm might have nothing so say about the desired distance
-% between them: in this sense, node C below is an ``orphan.'' 
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={for tree,s sep,l,*}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     for tree={s sep=0,draw},
-%     [R[A][B][C,l*=2][D][E]]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-% To prevent orphans from ending up just anywhere, I have decided to vertically align them with
-% their preceding sibling --- although I'm not certain that's really the best solution.  In other
-% words, you can rely that the sequence of s-coordinates of siblings is non-decreasing.
-%
-% The decision also incluences a similar situation, illustrated below.  The packing algorithm puts
-% node E immediately next to B (i.e.\ under C): however, the monotonicity-retaining mechanism then
-% vertically aligns it with its preceding sibling, D.
-% \begin{forestexample}[ekeynames={for tree,s sep,tier}]
-%   \begin{forest}
-%     for tree={s sep=0,draw},
-%     [R[A[B,tier=bottom]][C][D][E,tier=bottom]]
-%   \end{forest}
-% \end{forestexample}
-%
-% Obviously, both examples also create the situation of an edge crossing some sibling node(s).
-% Again, I don't think anything sensible can be done about this, in general.

+% \subsection{Anchors}
+% \label{sec:anchors}
 %
+% \FoRest; anchors are |(child/parent)_anchor| and growth anchors |parent/children_first/last|. The following code resolves them into \TikZ; anchors, based on the value of option |(child/parent)_anchor| and values of |grow| and |reversed|.
+% 
+% We need to access |rotate| for the anchors below to work in general.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\forestset{
+  declare count={rotate}{0},
+  autoforward'={rotate}{node options},
+}

+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\newif\ifforest@anchor@snapbordertocompass
