That has nothing to do with my statement that it does not make anything |
| 15 |
easier to maintain. Your statement is that it does, please prove that. |
| 16 |
(btw. with your definition of a substree you either end up with the |
| 17 |
whole tree or require to duplicate something). |

As I said, in rare case. But trust me I have to do it from time to time. |

Probably not and I don't care. As soon as you have proved that your |
| 26 |
thing works and that it does make things easier, then I'll care. :-) |

And in that lies the problem with any approach that tries to cut things |
| 33 |
from the tree (you can cut leafs from the graph, but they clearly have |
| 34 |
nothing in common... in most cases). |
