/**
 * There's a mix-up with terms in the code. Following are the formal definitions:
 *
 *   tree   - a strict hierarchical network, i.e. every node has at most one parent
 *   forest - a collection of trees. These distinct trees are thus not connected.
 *
 * So:
 * - in a network that is not a tree, there exist nodes with multiple parents.
 * - a network consisting of unconnected sub-networks, of which at least one
 *   is not a tree, is not a forest.
 *
 * In the code, the definitions are:
 *
 *   tree   - any disconnected sub-network, strict hierarchical or not.
 *   forest - a bunch of these sub-networks
 *
 * The difference between tree and not-tree is important in the code, notably within
 * to the block-shifting algorithm. The algorithm assumes formal trees and fails
 * for not-trees, often in a spectacular manner (search for 'exploding network' in the issues).
 *
 * In order to distinguish the definitions in the following code, the adjective 'formal' is
 * used. If 'formal' is absent, you must assume the non-formal definition.
 *
 * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * NOTES
 * =====
 *
 * A hierarchical layout is a different thing from a hierarchical network.
 * The layout is a way to arrange the nodes in the view; this can be done
 * on non-hierarchical networks as well. The converse is also possible.
