-- In practice we will work within one tds tree, but i want to keep
-- the option open to build tools that look at multiple trees, which is
-- why we keep the tree specific data in a table. We used to pass the
-- instance but for practical purposes we now avoid this and use a
-- instance variable. We always have one instance active (sort of global).

-- I will reimplement this module ... way too fuzzy now and we can work
-- with some sensible constraints as it is only is used for context.
