Granted. If, that is, the representation you generate supports that kind
of backtracking. This turns out to be very hard if you're starting from
an imperative representation rather than a declarative one.
But, as a separate issue, the CML2 design *could* be reworked to support
a multiple-apex tree, if there were any advantage to doing so. I don't
see one. Do you?
