Method Summary
`void` | `insert(MutableTreeNode child, int index)` Adds `child` to the receiver at `index`.
`void` | `remove(int index)` Removes the child at `index` from the receiver.
`void` | `remove(MutableTreeNode node)` Removes `node` from the receiver.
`void` | `removeFromParent()` Removes the receiver from its parent.
`void` | `setParent(MutableTreeNode newParent)` Sets the parent of the receiver to `newParent`.
`void` | `setUserObject(Object object)` Resets the user object of the receiver to `object`.
