Christian,
Just an addition to Philippe's remarks:
You can easily remove a friend from a Tree with
TFriendElement *fr = tree.GetListOfFriends()->FindObject(friendname);
tree.GetListOfFriends()->Remove(fr);
Since this kind of operation is supposed to be very seldom, we do not
want to penalize the Tree interface by something that can easily be done in two
lines.
