I would like to suggest some additions to Element:
walk: A generator that walks a tree in depth-first order. I think this
is the same as "getiterator" but the docs are confusing.
reverse_walk: Like walk but in the reverse order.
walkaround: Walks around the outside of a tree. Each non-terminal node
is visited twice. Each node should have a attribute whose values can
be NONE, DONE, FIRST, SECOND, and LEAF.
kill: Removes a node from a tree. It is replaced by its children.
prettyprint: Prints a tree with each node indented according to its
depth.
